❤❤VIDEO ❤❤LAMBING SEASON ❤

I can get 5 painted desert ram lambs. Can I keep them in the same pen for a few years just to see horn growth? They will be able to see and smell ewes. Not sure if that will make them really fight?

Think and do your mathification in animal units. Which is half a ton.

How many sheep can I raise on 4 acres?

That cedar tree would make you a good post that would last for 20 years.

Anyone catch the Bob white quail in the background in the beginning?

hell yeah brother its ram week

Thanks for the video. Curious about your water setup? And is the alley way grazed as well? Tnx!

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤lambs are getting bigger ❤

Lambs made the trip back to Tennessee great. Thank you for the great foundation to my breeding program. Excited for the upcoming adventure with this breed.

I have one and it has been working like a champ.

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤GOOD MORNING ❤❤ is 4.9 is volts or amps.. im thinking it’s amps ❤when you take amperage it’s best to do it next to the charger ❤ it gets lower further away from charger❤it reads higher next to charger, that is why it’s referred as TOTAL AMPS ❤ also depending on how wet the grass is ❤higher the grass makes a connection to it raiseses the amperage ❤❤ therefore their is a amp rating on your charger device ❤if you don’t keep your grass off of wire it will be difficult to maintain or (DAMAGE) the charger.❤ You need a voltage meter it really doesn’t cost much ❤I would suggest a digital ❤because you can have higher amps because the voltage is low❤higher the voltage lower the amperage ❤❤7kv at 4amps❤3.5kv at 8amps❤ what’s a constant your distance of poly braid❤how long is total feet of your run causes voltage drop and raises your total amps back at your box❤❤

I like your setup! We have been using the electric netting for about a year and the babies get stuck in it sometimes and it’s a pain.

Get Shropshire sheep for your forest pasture

"Avalanche" for the white ram.. Thank you for this video.. second year in with American black bellies for us. . Our first year didn't really go as we'd planned.. With the learning curve of a ram, boar, buck and bull on site... I'll let your imagination finish that story... We had two ram lambs born this year and our current yearling ram is much more docile than the first ram we had breaking thru fences to get to the other "boys".. I was curious as I'd like to keep one of the new lambs for future breedings as he's not related to the rest of the flock. So thank you very much for your information, experience and sharing your beautiful sheep..

Ace is a good name for the white ram

I just love your content. You just know how to speak and get to the heart of the issue. I have been remiss in getting the sheep vaccinated.... and you nailed it. I don't have ANY help, so it's easier to put it off than work them. Mine aren't hair sheep, but boy they've been pretending they are this year. 5 out of 7 are shedding big time. Last year one shed unexpectedly, and this year she got fly-struck so I had to literally pull her wool off (it was fixing to shed again) because I didn't have shears. Now that I have shears, I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to work them all. I have 12 lambs, 7 ewes, and 4 goats. All needing vaccination, and they all have horns except the goats that I got had been dehorned. With four-horned sheep, it's even harder to work them without getting injured. And as a 55 year old school teacher I don't really have the physique to wrangle sheep. I've been thinking about my set up, which was custom built for me and I'm glad I thought about it in advance. I have two big pastures (mixed pasture and forest) and then the paddock with my barn (which is about the size of your second to smallest catch pen, 12 by 16. Behind the barn I have a smaller area, and on one side of the barn are two narrow passageways. One is only about 18 inches, the other is about 3 feet. The 18 inches leads to a gate into the barn. But I've been thinking that if I get the girls into the narrow alley and funnel them into the barn, set up a lambing jug, I can squeeze each animal and vaccinate, and shear them. Anyway thanks for pinning down the source of my reluctance. Knowing WHY you do or don't do something is often the key to overcoming obstacles. OH, one other thing. I had to cull my ram at 18 month old. (Kept trying to kill me, and trying to kill his ewes, lambs, and others)... When I measured his horns, I followed your earlier video on that, but he's four horned so I doubt it was a valid measurement. He was a most impressive ram. His four horns totaled 108 inches.

Do you have any babies available off of him?

Nice.

❤❤ VIDEO ❤❤

There’s so many 😍. And they are just so cuuuute!

How much for a young male and female

Nice video. Learn something every day. Subbed #862, liked, black belled. Us little channels have to stick together, lol.

We have our first “bottle baby” and we spent a week trying to get her to take the bottle. Tried ALL the tricks everyone told us to do. She wanted NO part of it. We resorted to catching momma every few hours and holding her so the baby could eat. Going on 6 weeks doing this 😂. It’s a good thing she’s cute. 🤦‍♀️

It should be only one sheep to the acre a sheep's worst enemy is another sheep did you know that i was a shepherd working amongst sheep

Thanks again for sharing. I love seeing how you've used the areas of your setup. I have to set up a creep feeder too, but my problem is that I have Nigerian Dwarfs in with the sheep. They took over the creep feeder instantly. I still have one potentially pregnant ewe-lamb born last April. I had to take out the ram so I know the potential final day she can lamb. (or at least, look like she's ready to burst). I have 6 ram lambs this year, so I'm looking forward to setting up a bachelor herd.

Any experience with Soay sheep?

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤like always great 👍 info❤❤ I know LoMax had 5 ewes, Stoney had 5 ewes... Whatever happened to RED.. was he a painted desert❤❤ TAZ looking great, can’t wait to see the lambs TAZ throws out❤❤😢Stu died way to early 😢

great video man.pretty lambs, no question!!!

I really appreciate the time you take to document your operation. While my Jacob sheep aren't quite the same, I feel like you understand what I have that I deal with having animals known particularly for their horns. Those black and white lambs are very flashy. That's the main difference between the Jacobs and these... you get color, mine are just like a little herd of dairy cows. I only have 7 ewes, and 5 have lambed. 1 still born, but 10 live lambs. Unfortunately I have a single due to the still birth and one set of triplets. The ram was removed so that the last lambs will be here by May 10th. Only one is a maybe, but she is the only ewe lamb that I held back. Poor thing. Her daddy was a mean old cuss, and he broke all four of her horns. I ended up putting him down. I measured his horns posthumously, and I realized that if I'd tried to sell him to a trophy ranch, they might have really made some capital off him. Between his four horns, following your measuring video (adapted to four horns) and the measure I got was 108. He was only 18 months old when I put him down. (He was a violent, mean cuss). Sorry, just sharing. :) Love the babies. Particularly the little brown-cow baby. :) My first-timers are lambing last. The first of three first-timers had twins, totally mismatched in size, the little girl is tiny enough to walk under her twin brother, who is small enough to walk under his mum. My camera wasn't rolling, but at one point I looked over and the big twin was standing directly under mom, head between her forelegs, and his twin sis was under him in the same exact posture. It was like those Russian Nesting Dolls. She was a 2022 baby and didn't lamb last year, and my other definitely-pregnant ewe is the same year. I thought she'd have one, but she's just getting huge and not having babies. Though I predicted she'd be an easter baby, so she might make me seem like I know what I'm doing. The other was born April 6th last year, and she's a wild one, won't let me near her, so I haven't been able to evaluate if she's pregnant. She's never been shornso her wool is much shaggier than the rest.

Also, sheep are not dumb enough to chew on the electrical cord?

What age do you tag the lambs?

What height fence should I use for these?

Yeah, that's awesome. I have some 6 foot woodchip piles. They love playing king of the hill.

Love to see them playing!

Nice looking babies!
