It’s so kind of you to let the students handle the lambing under your guidance! It’s one of those things you can only learn by doing. Good job everyone!
When I have a lame sheep the first thing is trimm the hoof and look for a problem. Often there is a hole in the hoofwall where dirt comes in. Then I spray the hoof or I put it in a footbath. Sometimes the sheep have an absess in the hoof. Last year I had a lame sheep and I couldn´t fix her. I had 3 vets checking her, and every vet said I should sell her. But I didn´t gave up. I put bandages around her hoof and put the hoof in a footbath every day for 4 month. Today she is not lame and happy in the field. But I have only 27 sheep and they are my pets.
Came to your channel via Cammy from Sheep game who I came to via Sandi brock from sheepishly me, who talked about Tara Farms all good guys go see for yourself. Well done keep up the good work
Sheep lambing is so unpredictable but you have a great awareness of sheep problems with out lambing in the shed your spot on with their problems. Wonderful to see up coming vet students learning from your farm on birthing lambs. God bless.
I love watching all your videos, and hats off to you that you find time to show the students the intricacies of lambing, well done and keep the videos coming!! One downside, there's no Robbie 🤣
I’m so happy for you that it all worked out. You’re a complete gentleman farmer and a brilliant father to your kids very patient. You deserve nothing but good health and luck 👍👍👍🐑
Great video David. How much Alamycin do you give for the lame sheep? And is it just a one day course or do you repeat it so many days later? Do you find it works well? I had a few feet problems in the shed this year but I’m convinced they were a bit worse because eating silage instead of dry haylage and the wet silage around the ring feeder was making them worse. Would you agree? I was bedding them well but doesn’t take long for silage to make a bed around the feeder!
Do all ear tags have chips in them for the tag reader. Or do you order them specifically for that tag reader? If I got a scanner would it pick up all my sheep or would have to re tag them?
Not sure where you are in the world but compulsory for all sheep to be tagged with an eid tag here. Possibly compulsory in UK now also but not sure on that.?

Hello, thank you for your effort. Do you use the sidr and see the results?
Thank you 👌
Tried synchronization once but prefer natural service. Helps to space out the lambing workload.
Where is the main man, Robbie
Robbie is busy at firewood this weather, he'll appear in next video 👌
Dr Green (grass) works wonders
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
What breed are your sheep?
They are called Lleyn Sheep.

Do all ear tags have chips in them for the tag reader. Or do you order them specifically for that tag reader? If I got a scanner would it pick up all my sheep or would have to re tag them?
Depends if theyre RFID tags or plain ones. Most i believe nowadays are RFID but there are some that arent. If theyre RFID a scanner would read them 😊
Not sure where you are in the world but compulsory for all sheep to be tagged with an eid tag here. Possibly compulsory in UK now also but not sure on that.?
