Animals are scared of human noise. Shepherds are quiet people… all of you yelling will not work and just freak them out…
I agree. I have never seen such a ridiculous spectacle. Those poor sheep are completely stressed out and that blessed dog encouraged to chase them. He is lucky he wasn't trampled. I come from a sheep farming family and I found it totally sickening. It was like a whole load of townies had just been let out of kensington for the first time to go hunting.
Kinda wondering why Philip wasn't out there to begin with to help, but, mostly why Lancelot wasn't kept inside??
He's a tiny terror when he runs about.
Duly noted ... Perhaps you can share resources, tapes, or instructions for herding sheep in a manner more in keeping with your high standards(?)@@florentinalily
@@kindlydude Taking care to not stress out the sheep (or any animal) is not having "high standards". It's basic animal husbandry.
I'd guarantee there are videos on TH-cam if people herding sheep or discussing herding sheep that could be watched for the educational value.
The idea of occasionally giving the sheep feed in the little barn area and/or teaching the sheep to be led by someone carrying and then distributing feed to then is a very old, common practice.
Also, it seems obvious to anyone that grew up on a farm that you don't let an untrained dog in with an uneasy group of sheep. And keep any motioning and shouting to a minimum...
Will miss Aussie Grant. I hope he comes back 😢
Will he miss his croissants?
For those that are saying that Stephanie should have borrowed Dan’s Border Collies - Yes, they have a herding instinct, but they’re not born with the knowledge to herd them into an enclosure for shearing! These remarkable dogs are TRAINED to follow sheep herding commands, and Dan’s dogs are not.
But we would miss out on all the phone! No professionals pls! Ha
Oh, drats. There goes that idea for one of them to come to LaLande. 😢
@@maurawhelan3530😂😂😂
Untrained dogs ate incredibly dangerous and stressful to sheep When I used to live in Wales in the 80s, all loose dogs were shot on sight by the farmers because even a well meaning dog just having fun can quickly run sheep to death, even a dog the size of Lancelot. My own dogs mum, grandma and 2 sisters were all shot by farmers for being unrestrained, even though they were only suspected of sheep worrying and werent even caught in the act. The dog owners ( a friend of mine and his mum) tried to protest, but the magistrates and all that are all farmers themselves. Lesson. Dont let your dog off the lead in Wales
I love animals & am highly sensitive over them, but the sheep didn’t look badly stressed to me ❤
Sorry Grant left early. Prayers for him and his family.
Amen...
Agree. Amen. @@aleta5873
I missed the part where he had a family emergency!!! 😮 Prayers indeed!! Father, in Jesus name, be with Grant and his family. I pray all is well in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
I love seeing Ruby venture into the chateau a bit with her buddy, Lancelot. I hope all is well at home for Grant.
Ruby is so adorable. She knows she can't come inside(because of allergies) so she's only inside to eat Lancelot's leftover food or hang out with her new friend that's her size♥️😀
I find the relationship between Ruby and Lancelot to be so charming ❤️🇨🇦
I do as well! I love to see them together!
Simpatico...
Just because Ruby needs a friend and has to tolerate a dog being the only one he has. They should have given Ruby away to a good home years ago.
I respect that Ruby wants to live mostly outside. He was always fighting other male cats during his youth. Now "retired" there are other cats around.They could build him an enclosed cat patio so he could transition into living more indoors. ❤
I have wanted the humans to give Ruby more love and attention and some kitty friends. ❤
Always a joy to see Michael in La Lande. It just feels so right when he's around.
Love his smile.
And he seems happy whenever he's in Lalande. Or maybe it's the "vacation mood"
I’m not a cat person but I adore Ruby. More Ruby please
We change. I thought that i would never get a second cat but woo hoo i love Squeaky Stephanie Diana 🦚🎬🕶
Michael is a delight! To think that he was the one who gave you the idea to all of this, what a lovely soul.
Stephanie was already doing TH-cam before she even met Michael from what I remember. He started his channel after her.
@@baylorsailorMichael trained Stephanie in editing and helped her move into TH-cam. She often thanks him.
Ruby and Lancelot are adorable together. This episode was a blast, I’m sorry to see Michael go.
He looked sorry to leave.
Michael Petherick is needed at the Convent to help his Dad and Billy carry heavy objects around instead of being at Lalande helping carrying heavy furniture around from one room to another, at the whim of Stephanie Jarvis orders to suit her
preferred ideas of how she wants a room in Lalande to look.
@@trishwinstead28 He needed a ride home. But sad to see him go...
@@barbarastevens3053 who shat on your cornflakes?
Actually it was Philip's idea, as is said in the video. If you do not like Stephanie, why spending your valuable time watching the chateau diaries?? @@barbarastevens3053
Hire a local sheepdog and handler for 5 minutes
Those sheep must have been so stressed 😥
These sheep have been here for years. The ram has knocked people down, Gerry being short was a favorite target. ❤ The plan was Kirsty and Marie on fencing and Amaury and Grant dragging or carrying. Then the guys left. Note Jason got two, Philip one and Pavlina has learned to drag rams and carry sheep from last year. 😂
@@carolinegooder7091 I know
@@carolinegooder7091 Regardless, it was animal cruelty.
I came for the sheep but stayed for Mrs Hughes. If you can cope with Highclere Jason - you can herd sheep.
Has anyone news on Jared? He too is so talented. Stephanie, Is he slated to come visit?
@@keithj3223 he was just there last Christmas.
Grant, family emergency always sounds so ominous. I pray that you and your family are all safe and sound tonight.
You are such a wonderful addition to Lalande, I always hate to see you leave.
I look forward to your return.😢
❤ from TX!
So happy to see Jason. He's such a wonderful man. Glad Michael was able to reconnect with everyone. Loved Lancelot's sheep herding debut. He was so proud of himself. 🤣❤
So glad Ruby is becoming part of the family.
Have to agree with the other comments, we always moved our sheep with a nice bucket of granules at the lead, the perfect motivation and easy for them to understand they needed to follow for the treat ☺
You need portable fencing 😂that will make sheep herding so much easier
I thought they were going to when Kirsty and Pavlina were carrying the green fence is the last video. Instead they put it around the shed. 🤔
You better give Lancelot a check over for ticks…the combination of long grass, warm weather and sheep is conducive for ticks.
Come back soon Michael
Very stressful for the sheep.😢
Do you realise, that the sheep can drop dead, from being over stressed.
They certainly were not stressed,but sheep do die from not being sheared and most sheep farmers who handle far more sheep than this will not be worried about the way they were caught and clipped
@@shirleyw8531 They were stressed. it was just a ridiculous exercise. I come from a farming family and there is no way it would happen like this; with a random dog encouraged to chase and a drone. Yes, we would be worried. We are worried about this sort of irresponsible spectacle.
I was so happy to see Michael P. visiting LeLand again! 🤗
Stephanie that field the sheep are in needs topping. Sheep prefer shorter grass. Or, let in your neighbour's cows for a week. They'll eat off all the long grass.
It is as though Ruby knows too many are allergic for him to fully come into the house!
Isn't it odd though...everybody seems to be allergic to poor Ruby. I think he should be rehomed. He doesn't deserve sleeping ina cardboard box in the winter.
@@tuoinglese1455Ruby isn't their cat. But he likes to wander around Lalande
Why not use a bucket of feed and lead them where you want them to go? That’s how we move our cows from one pasture to another.
That’s how we moved our sheep too, just get them used to coming into the shed for feed once in a while and they will just follow you. Less stressful for everyone:)
The last two years were much better than this. It seems like chaos for no reason at all. Two years ago, Dan used his drone to herd them, and last year they were guiding them within a much smaller space. Frankly, I don't see why they don't just start bringing temporary fencing around the sheep (effectively herding them by bringing the enclosure around them) instead of run the sheep around like this.
That was exactly what I was thinking a bucket of grain shaking it to the shed
That's what I was wondering. When I had goats that worked like a charm.
Where’s the fun in that?
Lancelot is very good at making buddies.
Best comment
So sad to see Michael leave he needs to get his driving test done and be independent then could come and go easily! Love him to bits he's like a shining light at Lalande and so is Steph when he's around. Hopefully see him soon back at home with Billy and family. Yes poor sherp they were traumatised by all the shouting and sticks so scary for them 😢. Hope Grant is ok and can come back soon. Great video as always. Xxx❤
I think it's funny the kettle was moved back to the kitchen. It makes sense there, even if the coffee maker is in the other space.
Yes I noticed that too 😄
Yeah, having the kettle/coffee maker in the small dish washing area isn't the best.
@@demoiselledelamontagne Yes agree that handling boiling water or hot drinks in a busy confined area is a problem. And also everyone would carry their hot drinks out into the kitchen to drink causing a safety issue in the doorway.
A bucket of feed as someone else said works every time . This is ridiculous.
But FUN!!
@@ludovica8221 A usual. They care more about their own amusement and not the poor animals....
Very stressful for the poor sheep 🐑
Please don’t do this again.
Ruby is adorable.
Not if they are not bucket trained it wont
@@ludovica8221 No, it's not fun for the sheep. It's animal cruelty.
So sorry to see Michael go 😢 Great seeing everyone else together x x
Lancelot is such a good dog he kept coming back to you not going too far, that’s a great sign he’s not a “runner”🏃🏽♂️
I was against them getting a dog, but I certainly wasn't envisioning a tiny little charmer like lancelot. He sure has brightened up their lives.
I'm so glad I found you again. YT unsubscribed me. Makes me happy every time I watch your videos.
It is a happy ship! And brings us happiness as well.
“This is a tight ship. That’s why they call it the Titanic. “ 😂
While all the LaLanders are wonderful I have to admit Gerry is my favorite. ❤
I’m sure there’s somewhere near you where you could even engage a herding dog and its handler to come in once a year and help you with this. It seems a bit needlessly stressful for the sheep! I love your channel and I left all that you give to us us. I’m just making a suggestion. I don’t mean for it to sound critical.
The sheep are not used to being herded by dogs and so would give them the runaround just the same,even sheep that are used to dogs sometimes just break off and go there own sweet way if they are so inclined
@@shirleyw8531 A professional sheep herder & trained dog would be able to easily handle six sheep in a small field. Hire professionals next time to herd and sheer the sheep.
I'm thinking you could regularly feed the sheep in their wee house, so they get used to going there, and then you don't get them so stressed when they need treatments or shearing.
Catching with less frightening runnings and some attractive food, might do the trick
Ruby wants be an indoor cat, what a beautiful patient little being, turns out she loves company 😍😻❤️
Lancelot may not have experience but he has a lot of enthusiasm!
love how Lancelot bounces thru the field/grass
He’s absolutely adorable, a smile on legs!
@@lrogers707 Like a little deer
So good to see Ruby🤠❤️
Shouldn't be dragging the sheep along the floor by their horns !
I agree..to stop.but not to pull
We have seen Grant, Amaury and Kirsty do that for years. I'll have to look it up. ❤
Stephanie, your videos have literally been a survival tool for me since the day you left Vietnam at the beginning of the pandemic. This channel has been a balm on my soul. Such good energy.
Absolutely fabulous to see ruby with a new friend in the doorway
❤️
Or Lancelot guarding his food. 😂
It was good to say Ruby, the cat in this episode. I look forward to any glimpse of Ruby. It's good that he's developed a friendship with Lancelot. Think he's enjoying being inside your chateau.
There were about 3 people (who shall remain anonymous) who really made the sheep herding successful. The rest seemed to be a bit of clown convention. Thankfully, it’s a small herd….I had flashbacks to my childhood growing up on a cattle ranch and having to help herd hundreds of cattle on horseback - my very loud and impatient father loudly barking orders….and woe be the one who let a calf slip through!!
I think this was one of my favorite videos! Not that I like sheep herding but I like everyone together and smiling and seeing parts of the chateau that we haven’t seen in a while. Bye Michael
And yes I can imagine the restorers getting a laugh watching! 🤣😂
Your sheep are so stressed when you handle them this way. Maybe one of your farmer neighbours could help you ?
Love your aunt's hair with the pony tail and bangs!
I hope Michael returns soon 💛 The vlogs aren't quite the same without him 🌞
It’s so good to see everyone together ❤
If you get them used to a bucket of feed when they see it they will follow you that's how we do it
All's well that ends well, the sheep are shorn, and lots of people got some exercise. Great fun. Jason is delightful, and I hope to see more of him in the future. It was wonderful to have Michael there again, he's a beloved member of the Lalande family.
I’m so happy to have seen Michael when he was in LaLande. ❤
It would be much calmer for the sheep if you had a sheepdog to herd them into the field that you want them to go in.
What are you all doing? The sheep will not go in a direction where there are people standing, especially with the small dog and a camera man there. What a pantomime. Two people is all you need and walking them quietly along the fence gently tapping the stick on the ground round through the gate. Needed to leave them to settle down first then walk them through Without anyone standing in the gate area! Their poor hearts would have been pounding from being so frightened.
Yes, all that running around was unnecessary. Calm and quiet with sheep is the answer. They should train them with a bucket of sheep pellets to walk into a small pen. They will learn very quickly to follow the bucket when they get a treat at the end. Would save so much time and stress and then they have the sheep quietly corralled from where they can shear them. Also, the grass in that field is far too long, it needs topping. Sheep prefer shorter grass and also very long grasses can get caught between their cloven hooves and cut the skin there.
@@KathyRichards-tr9zx Yes. I'm no shepherd, but if the neighbour's sheep get loose I just walk towards them slowly with arms out in the direction I want them to go and they usually go there. Having a small pen in the field they can be directed to seems better than trying to get them into that shed. One person to control the gate.
Quite cruel, really.
And don't sheep get very stressed out by being chased by a dog, even one as small as Lancelot - and he is NOT a trained sheepdog!!
Totally agree a complete fiasco. Stressing sheep out for entertainment. I wasn't impressed either.
If you feed the sheep ever day a cup of sheep nuts but shake them in a bucket loudly before you feed them. they will learn to follow the sound of a rattling bucket. Which makes moving sheep so much easier.
That has failed a lot with these sheep. ❤
They are used to not having human interaction because they are pets not a commercial herd and trying to feed them for a few weeks would make them more reliant on being fed as opposed to feeding themselves
Maybe you could get the electrician to get the chandelier working in the dining room when he comes out to do the chapel ones ?!?
Most unfortunate that Grant had to leave before the big day, but it was lots of fun!... maybe one of Chateau de Chaumont's puppies for next year? A pal for Mollie, Lancelot and Ruby, while a sheep herder in training, not to mention a guard dog for the fox! Lovely to see Ruby with Lancelot in the kitchen doorway, even if it's only halfway in, so cute.
Shame Michael and his friend Jason had to leave so soon, Jason must have lots of entertaining stories to tell, along with fitting in so well... one castle to another. ❤🦘
We take a tin with some feed..and shake the tin and the sheep just follow us with the food..you must make them get use to it
Prayers for Grant and his family 🙏
Lovely to see Percy looking so well.
There must be an easier way to herd sheep. The animals get so stressed out. 😮
What a treat 🍬🍡🧁🍰🎂🍧🍨🍦🍮🍩🍯🥂6pm in Hollywood
Tatinette is such a lovely and nice person! 🤍
Ruby in the last scene----so adorable!
If there is a cow/sheep farm you could ask to borrow their dogs and handler for an hour? They are thrilling to watch.
But then us ranchers in Nevada wouldn’t be laughing 😂 so hard right now.
Ma langue natale est le Français. J'aime bien regarder vos petits filmes parceque Je suis toute seule la plupart du temps. Vôtre vie de Château me rappelle beaucoup de mon enfance.
Well…Michael & Philip didn’t do any Huge projects but a few wee things. I’m so happy to see Michael actually rest & enjoy his 2nd Family & hear he’ll return again soon!!🦚🥰🐏
Your Uncle braved his So France wardrobe today…smashing!!🌺🌴
God bless Y’all! -SE Houston, TX
Well that was just an example of how not to do it and to stress the sheep😮
I love how Gerry’s teacup matches his pj’s perfectly! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Percy blends in beautifully with the kitchen colours!
LOVED seeing Ruby and Lancelot at the end in the doorway! OH, my heart!
Michael looks good. It’s nice to see him at LaLonde.
I was in awe when I heard he's from Highclere Castle. Love Downtown Abbey, but the Castle makes my knees weak. I hope Michael don't stay away too long. Always fun to watch Sheep days.
Hilarious sheep herding. Love the relationship between Lancelot and Ruby. Michael going home to continue with the Chateau kitchen. Sad to see Grant had to leave.
Jason's job is about to get real busy again with the new Downton Abbey 3 movie about to start filming.
It's cool to put a face with the Highclere behind the scenes.
😊 If I was in charge of redecorating that room, I will remove al least a dozen pillows from those sofas !
Interior decorator at rest right now ...
I think the poor sheep are stressed and your team exhausted 😅
SYEPHENIE!!!!! you LEAD sheep, and you chase goats!!! Get their fave food in bucket and lead them to whrever you want!!!!
Good to see Jason!
So wonderful to see Michael at LaLande.
I love Michael Peth..Jason seems like a nice chap
I really enjoyed seeing Micheal back with the gang Great people fun laughter and love ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
So happy to see Micheal Pethrick back at Lalande
Good episode. I’m sure there’s enough plates etc now as soon there won’t be anywhere to store them.
This is just crazy!
Lancelot…more like Prancelot 😂
THANK YOU for your videos! It brightens my day. I love your aunt and uncle and it is so good to your mother and Percy along with scott man! THANK YOU!
Summer has arrived, the sheep have had their winter coats removed. Farewell Grant, safe travels. The littlest chick is thriving-yay! Thanks Stephanie and Philip.🙏❤️
So much happening in 1 episode at LaLande 😊
I'm quite shocked that you allow the sheep to be super stressed yet you care so much for animals. You promised that Lancelot would not be allowed to chase the sheep again. It's not funny get that dog on a lead 😔
A number of people suggesting that Stephanie should have a one of Dan's puppys for sheep herding next year. Wonder who they think is going to be the main care giver/handler and both human and dog need significant training together. A good shepherd and their sheepdog are very much as one entity.
lol! The sheep herding was utter chaos, even more so than usual! If it wasn't for Dave, you'd have been chasing sheep in the woods. He's a god send. On the other hand, the adorable Lancelot is unfortunately not a herding dog, unless it was herding the sheep away from where they were supposed to go. However, Lancelot is very good at rescuing lost wee pchicks. Congratulations to all who succeeded in catching a sheep. Well done. :) I'm betting none of this happens at Highclere. :) Wishing Grant and his family all the best. Much relieved to see pchick Lucky doing well. The courtyard looks beautiful. More please. The best to all. Have a great weekend.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lancelot could be trained to herd sheep!
@@hollykeller1545 He is a very smart little dog. You may be right. :)
Lancelot & Ruby melt me....
Love Grant...he is such a sweetheart...
Family and friends around the kitchen table. How wonderful this always is.
Always good to see Ruby
Lancelot bouncing thru the tall grass after the sheep was adorable. Gerry had me snorting with laughter too❤
I love Ruby.
Me to he is adorable 😍
That was terrifying 😮 as was carrying the dog down a ladder ! Oh dear ….
