Making Room for the Big Lambing Wave!

In this video Jeff moves sheep from the lambing barn to a pole barn storage shed in order to make more room for pregnant ewes. We have lambs on the ground and many more lambs to come! Join him as he moves sheep, spreads straw and shares how lambing is going!

Hi super Sir 👌

[@damianbuzon8119]

Beautiful farm.

[@valleyridgefarms]

Thankyou

[@gerryoconnor8751]

Good luck with the lambing Mate, you will have these problems with sheep, I don't know why but there are new ones every year.

[@cinderblock2289]

🤩 Follow the leader 🐑 You & the boys did a great job getting them relocated 🥸 even with forgetting about the 🧰 🛠 😉

[@valleyridgefarms]

Thanks! Yes, helps to have some energetic boys.

We're having major temperature swings down here in the states so having some difficulty with pneumonia in lamb's. Very frustrating.

[@valleyridgefarms]

Yes, Livestock always has its challenges. Pneumonia has not been one of my struggles, but I hear your frustration. My stillbirths are too high...very disheartening as well. Nice triplets with 2 of them being dead...things like that.

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

@@valleyridgefarms definitely a struggle. I hope the best with you. Do you feed ctc crumbles to your ewes before lambing?

[@valleyridgefarms]

Not sure what ctc crumbles are, but we feed corn with a soy protein supplement and mineral mixed together at about 1 lb per head per day in the last 4- 6 wks of pregnancy.

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Most people here in the states feed ctc 10 gram crumbles which are an antibiotic pellet. 1 lb per 12 head. It will clean up the ewes from abortion diseases.

[@valleyridgefarms]

@@user-zu2bw7ig5v I see. Probably not approved for use in Canada. However I'm negative for all major abortion diseases. We are thinking it could be cache valley virus.

Sir how many pounds feed enough for one sheep a day

[@valleyridgefarms]

About 5 lbs dry hay, if nursing about a lb of grain for each lamb she's nursing. Just a rough idea.

@@valleyridgefarms dear sir I want to start sheep farming in Pakistan with hundreds with out pasture is profitable for me or not and how many profit come annually predictionally

[@valleyridgefarms]

@@SafiUllah-zr9wz I can't speak to how it would be done in your country. There are many things to consider and it's different every where you go. I aim to raise about 3lambs per ewe per year.
