What does "Way Keeper" mean to you?

Thank you. I got my first lambs, so this is helpful. My goats follow me without any treats. I use “running” on them also. But the psychology is different. When I need them to get with me, I run AWAY from them in a panic. They will run to me and with me the same as a herd of wild animals join the herd to run from danger. They key off the first one to sense danger and run. It works every time. No treats involved. But my lambs are not bonded with me, so I’m sure this will not work on them (yet?).

I am in Zone 5 - just completing our greenhouse and plan on moving our figs in - do you heat your greenhouse over the winter. Further north so we may need too!

How can I get this machine

Your greenhouse is awesome. I’m looking into greenhouses made of polycarbonate because I want to convert it into a tiny home on some land. I don’t need very much, but I do want to ensure it holds up

If you aren't sure if the ewe has parasites or not, is there a way of doing something with the milk after milking to address this? Also I'm curious if there's a way to flavor the milk with honey somehow?

😊

3:09 Is Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️

Hi-help! My ewe, who was confirmed to have twins in her, dropped one of the lambs about a couple hours ago. She cleaned up the lamb, but she won't let him nurse. Is that cuz she wants to wait until the other one drops? How long can he wait to be able to feed?

Rather than setting up a compost bin at each end of the greenhouse, how about placing each bin a quarter of the length from either end? Secondly, some battery electric vehicles employ heat pumps. These put out more heat than the energy required to run them. Would such a system work in your part of the world? I'm thinking more in terms of shaping the temperature curve on the colder nights, rather than heating all through the winter.

Nitrile gloves are what we prefer. Sturdy, less allergenic for sensitive people.

Holstein Fresian cattle are not as hardy, just like the East Fresian sheep. I believe it is true generally for any species... Think Cornish Cross chickens or Broad Breasted White turkeys.

Bacteria need water. Iodine or other solution is better for cleaning teats prior to milking. Also good to post dip with iodine or other teat end sealant after finished milking. It takes about 20 minutes for the teat hole sphincter to close after milking is finished. Best if ewe remains standing after milking. Bacteria that get on the teat end can get into the teat and cause mastitis. If mastitis occurs, take an aseptic milk sample to a vet clinic that has bi or tri plates, an incubator and a knowledgeable reader of plate growth to determine treatment that is optimal. Strip/milk out of the affected quarter as often as possible. If the ewe, nanny, cow will not rise, the mastitis has become toxic and heroics are needed. 23% calcium subcutaneously can help with muscle function due to hypocalcemia. If she is walking like a drunk, she is likely hypocalcemic.

Do you have a video on: the brand(s) of milking machines and what you like/dislike about it(them)? Rotational grazing of horses? Do you do leader follower of species, if yes, which species order do you use? Just saw my second of your videos. We are in north central PA, you probably get lake effect snows that we miss. Thanks, have a blessed day!

What would be a good cost estimate for the installation of your "climate battery"? I don't know who came up with that term, but geothermal is a way better description...

I have a sump pump and lately I noticed the water being collected has oil on it, and I believed that oil is coming from my sump pump bearing. So my question is it safe to use the contaminated water in my vegetable garden? Thanks

This is so awesome! Im also in southern ontario and its great to know there are local farms doing things like this and focusing on regenerative farming and techniques along with restoring the ecosystem ❤

Im about to pay 5x the price of a cow's milk, hope it's worth it .

HI

I am building a micro geothermal in Vancouver where frost line is 18" I get 14c ground temp at 5 feet down. Full of citrus. A diesel heater can run on vegi oil mix. What depth are your hoses at? ground temp?

Awesome video, thank you! We've been doing this with our sheep. Unplanned and very unscientific ;) I had started our property focused on small fruit orchards and nut groves then added sheep later on. I noticed immediately they liked eating the leaves and fortunately I always have a lot of pruning to do. The only thing i still can't explain, hoping someone out there can help me out please, is I recently read that all "Prunus" family trees are potentially toxic but man.. my sheep gorge themselves on apricot leaves every single day and they'll always super healthy. Also asian pear, cherry (fruit cherry not wild cherry) and apple. Apricot leaves in particular make up a significant portion of their diet. Yet I read another study where feeding apricot and cherry improved sheep health. I give them a lot of hazelnut branches too which isn't their favorite but they'll eat when everything else is done. For wild trees in our area tulip poplar is their favorite.

Figs are the best fruit of all time. And i love the tree.

Here on island Pag in Craotia people are so narrow minded. There is more pasture raised sheep than people. In village Povljana tried to buy sheep milk from 3 dairy farms, they are just into selling milk to cheese factory, or making cheese, nobody sells milk. They are so obsessed with getting it salty, dry and hard, and afraid to be poisoned by bacterias of raw milk. My grandma lives majority of her life on sheep island, and she never tried sheep milk. She told me:"don't ask nobody for sheep milk, people don't have it for you, go to supermarket and buy cow milk" that is advice of my 77 yr old grandma.

would be helpful to know the actual temperatures inside

Hello, I also use the misting system, but I realized that not all crops benefit; For example, it works well with leafy greens like lettuce, spinach or arugula, which have a smaller root system and don't need much water; other crops work too. , but for tomatoes, for example, it will be a disaster, they will be full of fungi on their leaves and will require a greater amount of water.

Great info, thank you!

We are doing our research on getting dairy sheep for our homestead- 30 acres in Va. This was VERY informative.

I am a farmer from the UK and thought your video was very informative for some one starting out where ever you are

How about freeze drying sheeps milk?

It makes sense for the sheep cause chances are not all of the sheep are eating that delicious tree so they follow and run especially if they think you're a sheep as well. Once the stragglers see that everyone is going somewhere they'll immediately follow because sheep are herd animals and a lone sheep is a dead sheep. Thanks for all your videos and information as well!

The wind is really bad where I live. I have to be the little piggy who builds with brick. Our land in Oklahoma, the challenge is hail. We found a really strong and thick plexiglass sold at Lowe's but it was too expensive for our budget at the time. I like your greenhouse.

With swap a ram you have to worry about transporting illnesses around.

Thank you so much. I've got one sheep and one goat and I'm new at milking. I'm hand milking right now but I bought that milking machine you have. They sent it to my billing address instead of my shipping so I won't have it till May.

I've got an Awassi ram and East Friesian that I'm going to breed in the fall. I'm weaning right now and share my milking's. I'm getting a quart a day from my share. Yesterday I made lavender honey sheep's milk ice cream. It was easy and delicious. I highly recommend sheep's milk ice cream.

how do i stop them taking a dump in the milk bucket?😂😂😂

I wonder what would happen if you made a concrete trough adjacent to the greenhouse and filled it full of manure and other organic matter and ran pipes through the center of it. The heat generated by the compost would surely heat the greenhouse as well at night. We have sheep and every spring there is a huge pile of manure and straw that would fill a large trough.

Awesome! Cauliflower is another! Still harvesting from last years plants! Years ago, I learned of the kale because it lived in outdoor raised beds I had for a childrens' course. They LOVED fresh kale and, in fact, when we started lessons in February and took some into class from the previous beds, they still thought it delicious! ( if we only let kids see, taste, feel grow in nature....!)I learned of celery this past year and have loved it! Grew in my heated GH thru winter and enjoyed until almost the end and evidently voles found them- dug underneath them. (Took me a while to figure out what it was... now I'm trying to figure out control since they have devoured my spring starts. )Picked them off one by one!😢 Nice to have found you!

A deizel heater would help.

Where are the sheep kept before you put them in a pasture in the spring?

Awesome, thank you

Sand battery, and stack black trash cans on northern wall filled with water or sand.

Bravo! 👍

Hi I tried this method. Is it normal for the utter to feel hard? When I squeeze it feels like I’m squeezing a ball and I didn’t get any milk out.

bought it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing

Ram, nature , don't like to play , very serious, most of time. You have to watch them, their think their so beautiful, and the prize. Train is the 🗝️. I agree.

Do you make butter from the milk?

Excellent video. How to dry off a sheep would be another great video.
