Greetings from Wisconsin, USA. I have the 3:1 reel and I did not know about the running the wire through the black guide. I must have missed it in the directions with the reels. This will relieve a lot of headaches for me when I reel the fence up, it will keep it from wrapping around the wheel along the frame. Thanks very much, you just reduce my "swear word" count substantially😉
Glad I could help in a small way
Bring on the Spring eh. Nice standards. I liked the insulator strainers! Love Alfie. 🇳🇿
Hi I like your video
Nice bit of kit
Welcome back my friend and as always beautiful sharing adventure documentary updated resume countryside content video and a very interesting video to watch !! .. million thanks again ..
You are very welcome
👌
The wire cutters look identical to Knipex 71 31 200 cutters - are they simply rebranded? - have been using 71 31 200 Knipex cutters for sometime now - and they are excellent!
I think they are a copy of the knipex ones. Or they could be rebranded.
Looks very damp an inclement . . . great video. Cheers.
Super vidéo! Pourriez vous nous faire une vidéo sur les clôtures fixe pour les ovin sont elles électrique, grillage , combien de fils , quel poste electrificateur, les prise de terre ? Nous sommes en France merci
Should try out the king hitter spades, great weight and feel
Great to see Alfie checking that you're doing it right! Way to go Alfie!
Alfie looks to be the chief dog - have you got others coming along? - nothing worse than being without good working dogs when moving sheep
Not another heading dog as yet.i do need another pup.
walago originated from the term will let her go
Now finally understand walago - but haven’t yet picked up your terms for go left , go right , gently, bark, push, move back
My Aussie vocab. Is - go back, get over, steady, speak up, push up, away - usually prefixed with the dog’s name.
Nor have I picked up your term used to cast the dogs around to other side of the mob - Aussie speak is usually- “get away back” with the dog always starting the cast behind you away from the sheep.
Alistair's are a bit unique, red is right, blue is left! He has whistles that are different for the heading dogs to the hubtaways as well as those commands. Go back, speak up are used as well, as commands but also whistles.
Keewee✌️
Thanks for your vlog. With the electric fences dont you find that lambs will find their way through?
I thought it might be the same command as “That’ll do!” That I’ve heard sheep farmers use…. Sounds like I was nearly correct 😁
What the spreading app name? Great videos, Thanks

@@kiwifarmernz thanks
How many CC's is your quad bike? cheers
Its a 570.

Hey mate, what’s the idea with putting the ewes on and then off the crop every day? I see some just leave them on there too. Management thing?
Better utilization of both crop and hay/balage (so a more balanced diet), as well as being able to set up breaks for multiple days .
@@kiwifarmernz 👍👍 does it work better/worse if it’s wet too? Iam trying to nut out how to incorporate a winter crop practically.
@@colinwientjens1871 I like having a runoff paddock when it's wet. It's better for the stock health.
G'day, How do you deal with the stalk residue from the kale when reseeding?
Answered this in the upcoming video.
Hi Hopefully you can answer this question, Is the Can-am quad bike better than a Honda quad bike as they are more expensive to to service and purchase or is it just personal preference.
It all comes down to personal preference. I have had a good run with them. They are built well, with heaps of power and out dealer is only 30min away, there support is great.
How big is your farm and the lease block area and how many sheep and cattle you run on your farm thanks
560 ha at home and 65ha Lease block. run 1400 ewes and 100 cows plus replacements
What’s the name of the app for spreading Fert?
