Rocket Ships, Roadside Repairs & Sheep Migration Begins!
มุมมอง 14K7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
The annual Sheep School migration starts here! In this video, we regroup the flock after mating season and move them to their winter grazing fields. It’s a long trek up the road, with family, friends, and neighbors lending a hand. My nephew, the 'rocket ship,' keeps us entertained with his super speed, while a few stray sheep add to the fun along the way. Of course, no day on the farm would be ...

Sheep Work: Fencing, Fails & Fairy Tales
มุมมอง 15Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Sheep farming in a wet Irish Winter is no easy task, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate! In this video, we take on the challenge of moving a batch of ewe lambs and cull ewes to fresh grass. After a last-minute call from the farmer who owns the land, we set out in wet, miserable conditions. Myself and the main man (Robbie) tackle fencing using my homemade reeling system powered by a c...
Farming Under Pressure - We Needed This
มุมมอง 18K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
This week, it feels like everything is running on empty-vehicles, fences, and even time! We make progress on Orlaith’s bathroom and utility room, though her Christmas deadline looms closer than I’d like. Robbie finally gives in and replaces the Combo van’s dead battery, and my trusty Landcruiser refuses to start in the cold, forcing us into some creative jump-starting. With sheep to move and fe...
Old Dogs, New Tricks. Winter Work Begins.
มุมมอง 21K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
In today's video, the Winter work begins with the first ewes heading off to Winter grazing as we wrap up the mating season! We start by taking the rams out after their time with the ewes and moving them onto winter grazing - a job that not only keeps the sheep happy but also helps local farmers clean off their fields. Using our EID tag reader and performance recording software, we log breeding ...
Farming is a Gamble...
มุมมอง 16Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Farming is full of risks, and today’s video highlights a few of them! We start by loading pallets of Sheep School Shop products to meet the galvanizing truck before heading back to the yard, where my mother and niece collect parcels for delivery. It's a busy day, with a quick plug for the shop (www.sheepschoolshop.com) before moving on to the next big job. With Robbie and Pops, we gather ram la...
Fitting a Feed Auger - Total System Upgrade!
มุมมอง 15Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, we tackle a long-overdue upgrade to the feed system in the piggery. The old setup was a constant source of headaches, with frequent breakdowns and endless repairs slowing us down from other more important jobs. Working in a dark, dirty, and smelly environment added to the challenge, but we knew a modern solution was the only way forward. Join us as we remove the worn-out system, ...

This week, I introduce you to my new sheepdog, Meg, who’s showing promise-but it’s clear I need as much training as she does! After that, it’s time to sort lambs for the factory. I discover they’ve been overfed, costing me money, but I send off 16 lambs at my best prices ever! I save two potential breeding rams, hoping they’ll turn wasted feed into big profits next year. The rest of the ram lam...
Rams, Rain, Rescue & a Real Keeper!
มุมมอง 24Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This week’s video is packed with action, challenges, and a few surprises! We kick things off with great weather and ideal land conditions as the lime spreading contractor begins working to get the lime spread. I dive into the soil sample results, the importance of lime for fertility, and the quantities needed to keep the farm thriving. But farming life is never predictable! Heavy rains leave th...
Farming: Can’t Plan It, Couldn't Write It!
มุมมอง 21Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Today’s farming adventure shows just how unpredictable life on the farm can be! Watch as we tackle a series of unexpected challenges: from gathering sheep that break back and go their own way, dealing with a van that’s deeply stuck in the mud, and facing some “real problems” on the lawn. With family pitching in (and plenty of laughs along the way), we keep pushing forward, because in farming, y...
Repairing DRAWBAR and a HYDRAULIC RAM on a ZERO GRAZER. #engineering #workshop #farming #welding
มุมมอง 26Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This video is about repairing a damaged hydraulic ram end and pivot bracket on a zero grazer. The ram end is badly worn and needs replacing as the bolt is breaking after a few weeks. It's an important part of the machine as failure can leads to the machine swinging out into on-coming traffic and could also result in further drawbar damage. No sheep in this one - all workshop. I hope you enjoy t...

Sheep? 'The Last Thing I Need!' Construction Starts, Happy Wife!

In this episode, we finally begin the long-awaited construction of Orlaith’s new utility room and downstairs bathroom, and let’s just say things don’t go exactly to plan! We accidentally bust a water pipe, creating what can only be described as an indoor paddling pool! Later, our kids manage to burst another pipe-this renovation has turned into quite the adventure! We also hit a few roadblocks ...

There are a lot of highlights here. But I could not possibly have been more proud of what you accomplished when you did so well at the shows. I was so incredibly proud of you when your hard work was validated by someone else. That was awesome to watch. But really, thank you for everything you shared this year. I have enjoyed observing. Sidebar: Your wife is a delightful pill. 🤣🤣🤣

Good stuff, I simply put a colour mark on the rams shoulder and mark the ewes that went to him the same way and that has worked for 30 years and I mark the lambs born accordingly. 👍
That was a great team effort. All the best for 2025.
