Ok. I commented the first time half way through watching. Now that I finished watching the vlog I think that was definitely Tammy that jumped on the straw bale first. Of course it was her because why wouldn’t she, right?! 🤷♀️🤣. Kevin is and has always been such a sweetheart. I’m so happy y’all are finally getting a taste of spring! And thank goodness you finally received that gorgeous couch!!!!!! 😊🐑🐏💜
Absolutely love Kevin he's so sweet. So glad you made it through lambing . We're in for severe thunderstorms tonight and into tomorrow here in iowa. It got up to 82 degrees F. here and extremely windy .
ACK !! Noooo ! LOL. Kit got pushed away, mom ! You must be tired ! Poor Cammie over at Sheep Game looks to be having a really rough season already, and his just started. I'm looking forward to seeing your sheep out on pasture. Congrats on the new sofa. Some days I watch your vlog and feel like taking bullet points to chat about things you mention. I'm one of the unlucky ones to be mucking out with a pitchfork, but I only have 6 goats. LOL. My question is: how can Arnie tell when he's reached the bottom of the barn floor when he's pulling it out ? To me it all looks like dirt after the first few obvious layers are taken off.
Yes, lambing is exhausting both mentally and physically. The floor looks like mud but it is actually quite solid with gravel so when Arnie scoops out the manure, it skims across the solid base and only picks up the manure. It is almost as hard as concrete now.
Lambing is fun for observers or those without the financial investment or welfare responsibility. Otherwise it is a process with possible great outcomes but filled with worry snd potential for heartbreak. That pack was epic. Using the pack the way you do is one of the great cycles On-The-Go farm. Seed, grow, cut, hay, bedding/feed, mulch/fertilise and start the process over again. The bonus with lots of rams this year is the fact you gave so much choice for specific breeding requirements. Eg Last year you bred for length snd it was super successful.
Yes, unless you've done it, even showing it on video never can convey the anxiety and exhaustion that goes with it. The bedding pack is part of the cycle of life. Everything has a necessary purpose.
All the babies are just too adorable 🥰. Are you using a new way to vlog Miss Lynn? The picture is outstanding, absolutely crystal…almost feels like I’m there! 😊🐑🐏💜
Yeah Tammy! You noticed. I was curious if people could see the difference or not! Yes, my new phone arrived a few days ago. The weather has been so gloomy that photos still weren't as good as I'd like but in the sunshine it seems very clear. Glad it was noticeable!🙂
I only have a few to lamb each year, but I agree as well. To any one that wonders about it, try staying functional on about four hours sleep a night for a month or two and see how it goes.
I'm a new viewer, i wanted to know if you've ever done a video about your farm in numbers in terms of "number of lambs we need to sell that take care of expenses" and what's bonus etc. Sandy did a video like that and I'm curious since you're a different type of sheep farm what your guys' numbers are like with your VERY spoiled flock ;)
I haven't crunched numbers but I can say that our situation is very different from Sandi's. Basically, we consider one lamb to pay for the ewe's upkeep. The second lamb is profit. Lambs on bottles are also a right off. So we want twins ideally unless the triplet is a female because we sell all our females as breeding stock. With breeding stock, you get more money per lamb than for meat. But we always say, if we can pay our bills and still have a life, we are doing well but you will never be rich farming unless you inherited your farm.
@@EwetopiaFarms thanks for the info, I find your situation very interesting because of the kind of farming you do. The classic joke with farming is how do you make a million dollars farming? start with two milion!
You have pretty hair .I bet its a big relief when that last lamb hits the ground.I enjoy watching them give birth.
I prefer watching other people's sheep lamb than my own - way less stressful! Lol!

Wow, so hot already! I hope they aren't too severe or turn into tornadoes!

@@EwetopiaFarms I had noticed but today’s video was vibrant! Just like a 4K TV screen…very impressive!
Plus, you know me…I notice that type of thing 🤦♀️🤣🥰

Yes, I do think it boils down to lack of sleep or even rest
👍👍👍🐑🐑🐑
