A very interesting video!!! I look forward to tomorrow when you continue with the discussion!!! I agree with you Lynn, there are some things that money can't buy!! Gladiator is such a part of Ewetopia Farms and you would miss him too much to let him go!! So would we!!!😉 Thanks to both of you for sharing your experience, thoughts and knowledge with us!! Stay safe!!!
We had 12 ewes on one of the farms i worked on as a shepherd and these were poll dorsets but the farmer didn't want them so I bought them from him and when they lambed what lambs they produced twins and triplets so if i had a single i used to twin them on darling sweet sexy young lady xx xx xx xx xx xx
Good evening Arnie and Lynn. It was school today on the farm and I have always liked school. The new mama in the jug looks quite proud of her ram lamb as she should be. Very cool that the stragglers have produced some beauties and that ram lamb has such a handsome face. He looks perfect like a postcard. And he was a big boy at 15 pounds. And our regal mama has done a wonderful job feeding her babies. They are right on schedule. Very interesting to hear about the reasons for your past choices in sheep. Meat qualities size etc. I can definitely understand getting overwhelmed with too many lambs especially if the lambs were out of the Ying Yang. 🤣🤣. How exhausting. I had to laugh at the comment about chickens who liked to sit on your lap as opposed to the egg layers. I agree let me have the time to enjoy the animals. And Lambert is a perfect example.The small gates Arnie made with the initials are beautiful. Such nice work. You two had a good conversation at the end of the video. When Arnie said size of carcass I remember him comparing the Suffolk ewes to king size beds for the lambs I loved that analogy. Thanks for the lessons. Big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I like school days too. I feel they are important in letting people understand why we do the things we do. We all have our varying reasons which make more sense when explained.🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is a fantastic educational vlog resulting from a viewer query. For me there were a number of big lightbulb moments including the differing developmental rates of the quality of your 2breeds, the polled/poll issue, the texel influence (texels are big in UK) and the big difference between our Dorset stock bought from a stud that. Was quality not a production line. Thank you Lynn for linking the points altogether and thank you Arnie for the rapid fire Q and A review to sum up the issues. (And Andre for the mystery and humour regarding the $11 000 offer for Gladiator. I think your used rams would be good value as they have lived well but have been used likely. Would have been humorous to string Andre along!)
Thanks Susan. Andre is quite the character! He bought a Gladiator son from us and despite haggling over the price with us, lol, I think he was very pleased with the results. So he is a big Gladiator fan 🙂.
Not on purpose. We aren't crossing any sheep anymore. We did have a Suffolk ram break out and bred two Dorsets, though, and we still have those lambs - one is Chewy 🙂
Lamb death is such a real thing, I went from not losing any to bringing in a flock where I lost 20% and holy heck the emotional toll isn’t something you can be prepared for. I spent so many nights in the barn crying along side a grieving mom
Yes, lamb death is devastating for everyone involved. But so is a ewe or ram dying or anything for that matter. Unfortunately, in farming, you see more death than anyone should have to see. It can be very upsetting and hard to deal with at times.
Hi Lynn, could buddy be stuck inside a building or garage on your property? If he's not neutered he could be marking his territory and mousing around. 😼 Go home Buddy 🌄
All our buildings are accessible to the cats and are open so he is not stuck anywhere. I am hoping he is just on a romp but he has never done this before!
Really Andre? Did you have good ewes back then? I know you do now. A texel cross should be no problem though. We had no problems with our Texel ram and he was a bruiser!😁
@Andre Lacombe that's too bad because they are a good cross. We seriously have never had a problem with them. My friend with purebred texels only was always pulling them though

That is why i loved the suffolks, they grow well. They are my favorite breed. And that beautiful head and ears.
I do have to agree that they are beautiful animals!😍🙂
love that your farm balances the love of the animal vs the need for $s…
🙂
Thank you! I love Arnies information so great. I love the interaction with all of the animals. I really enjoy your vlogs xx

Love the gates Arnie, happy wife, happy life.😊

Love your videos. Fun and educational nothing beats that.

What a joy to see Lambert settled, relaxed, feeding and being a sheep. Alls well that ends well.
They usually just need a little rime!😊

Very interesting video today, Lynn
Thank you!
Chickens! Love them. Still thinking about Buddy. ❤
Me too on everything!
Cheers to wisdom. How would you know if you didn't try. Find what works for you and stick with it! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Thanks ☺️
Love this video very informative
Thanks!
wow Arnie did a great job on the small gates, pretty scrolling!
He makes all the gates around here!🙂
Awesome - does Arnie do other iron work/blacksmithing?
@Angry Moose and Family no, he just does welding but it is something he really enjoys
Lynn I was the guy who call Arnie.... LoL 😂
😁
Oh boy, Arnie, I tell you, the troubles we (boys) go through 🤣! You actually had to make a gate with an “L” on it?🤣🤣🤣
Of course he did! If you have to ask, then that is why you "boys" get in trouble!!😉😁🤣🤣
23,30 🎞 Thx myn filosofi 🖼 live 👌 from Turkiye .
Thank you for watching all the way from Turkey!🙂
This was a very informative video! Thank you! Arnies gates are beautiful. He is talented. Are you both 1st generation or second generation farmers?
I am first. Arnie is from a farming background.
❤
Are you crosing dorset with suffolk too.?
Not on purpose. We aren't crossing any sheep anymore. We did have a Suffolk ram break out and bred two Dorsets, though, and we still have those lambs - one is Chewy 🙂

Many years ago I had try a texel Ram was I ever sorry . I had to many problems with lambing .
Really Andre? Did you have good ewes back then? I know you do now. A texel cross should be no problem though. We had no problems with our Texel ram and he was a bruiser!😁
@@EwetopiaFarms yes I had good ewes back then. I had to pull on every lamb .the ewes could not lamb on there own.
@Andre Lacombe that's too bad because they are a good cross. We seriously have never had a problem with them. My friend with purebred texels only was always pulling them though
🩵🩵🩵
Women fall in LOVE to much over cute babies😂😂😂😂men want the money!!
No don't sell Glad, i'd never see him again??? He's my favorite!!!!🤨😒
He is not for sale, don't worry!😁
@@EwetopiaFarms Oh good, i would be very sad!!!!
I don't like the sheep having so many lambs it is not natural for them and in the end you lose
