only problem is that if you are training them yourself than you start to forget a lot when you replace one around retirement age so either you need to replace every few years or try to teach your current one like its a rookie just to keep yourself in the game. still this dog is much better than my family farm sheep dogs in past by the look of it as ours tend to end up less trained by the user error haha.. we have run icelandic sheep dogs and even tried mixes with border collie but icelandic aint the smartest dog around sometimes as it like to play more with the sheep and forget the job at hand but border collie has work better as horse herding dogs but icelandic is very strong sniffing out sheep under snow so we tend to like the icelandic breed.
My dog isn't a herding dog breed but she herds her chickens when I ask her to. She's actually 1/3 pomeranian and 3/4 beagle. She loves her chickens and hangs with them all the time. I can leave her with them and I don't have to worry about it. They are not scared of her but when they know it's time for bed they go to bed for her. She's a 15lbs dog. My grandma's weiner dog now helps as well. It honestly helps me sooo much especially when they don't want to go to bed.
I've had 3 border collies in the past and 1 of those; my first one, Gin was a card toting herder being bred from a North American and a US champion herder. Got her for a deal $1000 because she had 1 blue eye. Loved the shot where the two of you are talking and the herder is resting on his hip just chillin'!!
I was in County Galway and there were dogs for sheep and cows. They would nip the heel of the cows to get them to go where they wanted and were trained to look out for a cow kicking them.
We used to call sheep over wintered too long on dairy cow early grass grazing, grass lice! Used to set the growth of grass back way too much as left on too long. Over the years, people are, have realised mid feb is latest to get them off. But, i admit they have a place, in the right fields, right length of time, just as youve done this year.
As a horse person, yes I agree, they don’t do much for improving the land… Ive heard farmers call them hay burners…. Which I feel is pretty accurate… for horses not doing a farm job, which is the majority, pasture pets. Love them to pieces. Also watching a good farm dog is always a treat, some need almost no input from the farmer it is so impressive.
well farm horses have their use as in iceland we send sheep up the mountain in spring to collect them in fall so we havent traded them for bikes as sheep like to play with danger and if you follow sheep like blind man than you arent smarter than sheep haha , horse knows to act against rider if it see it aint smart route.
We had Jacob sheep at school the ram was proper dangerous he would but every thing even the fence the safe way to deal with him just keep hold of the handles
When i was a lad i spent a few years on a sheep farm, after tailing 20k lambs each season, i can safely say i never want to see a sheep again...unless it's coming out the oven!
Hi Tom, good video I enjoy different types of farming sheep cattle pigs' good job the dogs are fun to watch working. I hope JOE is feeling much better now!
Interesting take on how useful sheep can be to the dairy farmer. They certainly tidy up the pasture (and the hedges) improving the land generally. There are some good sheep farmer youtubers. "The Sheep Game", Canadian "Sandy". and the amazingly Australian, "Tara Farms" - which is my favourite. They all show the absolute dedication to the welfare of their critturs that you do with your cows, plus great technical skills; but these guys are just Masochists: 2000 inexperienced first time ewe mums lambing in 6 weeks, that's 50/day, at least a 25 hour working day. Madness! Kelpies seem to be the popular sheep dog in this part of Australia.
We also do ours differently we don’t breed we buy lambs at 8 months old start off on grass then move to pellets and cake and have them till there 20 months and sell them for breeding stock
Thought Heidi would have moved you away from the sheep. What about a herd of goats? Graze the fields and the scrub under the trees and banks of the ditches on the farm.
Great video as usual. Something different, sheep those guys certainly know how to handle them. Hope Jo and Harvey doing well after their sum what mediocre start.
as a horse person ,there's a reason why we put sheep out with our horses haha. Horses destroy the land, having sheep in there with them helps a bunch. Though we often have to sow the land a bit anywyas
Typically, a female sheep in the UK who is now coming up on her first birthday, is called a “hogget” or “hog.” She needs to grow and mature her first year so she can be physically capable of carrying her lambs. When that ewe is going to the ram for her first babies, she gets called a “gimmer.” She then finally gets to be called a “ewe” when she’s had her first babies on the ground.
Horses put nothing back into the land? Last time i looked mine produced huge amounts of manure that can be spread when it's rotted. Curious to know which breed of horses you own that don't do this! I appreciate there's a process to this but so is there to slurry spreading, or do farmers have all that equipment for fun? Anyway, horses aren't commercial farm animals in Britain and Ireland 🇮🇪 generally because they aren't consumed. 😂
i still have PTSD about that one time when i was delivering food for the cows on the 2nd farm. we had a auto feeder that you just dumped the mixed rations in and then it would come and give the cows food every hour or so. so i emptied my load in to the auto feeder and turned it on. whent in to the cows to manualy turn on the floor scarapers as we don't want them to be automatic when we are not there. i get the scraping done and then just notice that there are 4 cows munching on the food from outside the enclosure. i think god fucking damit 4 cows escaped and now i'm gonna have to chase them back in. once i actually looked att the other side of the building i noticed there where a gazilion cows all over the place that had escaped. that was a 5 hour battle and then another hour and a half of chasing and playing hide and seak with a calf in the corn fields.
we also lost 2cows that summer. we had a few cows out in a field that was next to a river. it was a extreamly hot day and when we tried to load up the cows for transport back to the farm 2 of them managed to jump over the electric fence. we managed to chase them back over again and back in to their field. but we had to chase them around for a very long time and run all over the field and we could not managem to run towards the trailer. we where exhausted and the cows where extreamly overheated and exhausted so we decided to just leave them there and let them calm down and cool down over night. but yeah them mother fuckers crossed the river and became wild forest cows never to be seen again.
Nice to see sheep for a change, but PLEASE Tom, DON'T call them heifers. They are called Hogs or hoggets (in Devon usually pronounced "UGS" Ewes are "yaws" or "yows")

Herding dogs are absolutely amazing and you couldn't be a shepherd without them. I love to watch Cammy at the Sheep Game with his dog, Meg.
only problem is that if you are training them yourself than you start to forget a lot when you replace one around retirement age so either you need to replace every few years or try to teach your current one like its a rookie just to keep yourself in the game.

The dog working sheep from the drone was fabulous 👌.
Always great to see a shepherd and his dog working in tandem. Thanks for this video. 🐑🐑🐕
It was so good to hear you were going home to your wife and not the hospital. Wishing her good health and a happy family.
Great video Tom, the drone footage is a must wi dog and sheep. Glad Jo is up for making the Sunday roast dinner , best meal 😋 of the week.
Thanks Tom, for taking time to give us a bit of an education in sheep!
That certainly showed his valuable asset having a good sheepdog is. Thank you for sharing.

The drone shot was great to see the dog work. Thanks for the video Tom ✌️
I sure do love watching dogs work!
That's guys operation is pretty kool and that's definitely one impressive dog amazing how that dog works great video as always Tom
Tom, I enjoy seeing you go to other farms and showing us little bits of what they are doing. Thank you
Solid and enjoyable video learning something new. Really like the drone shots of the sheep being herded. Everyone have a great week. Be well be you
I was in County Galway and there were dogs for sheep and cows. They would nip the heel of the cows to get them to go where they wanted and were trained to look out for a cow kicking them.
In Oz its Kelpies for sheep and Cattle dogs for cows Kelpies are smaller but quicker
Love watching the dog work. So smart.
I love watching sheep dogs work. Awesome!
Beautiful footage of hard working farmers and the hard working dog. Loved the video. ❤❤
Strange how he was holding the dog and the dog was just calm and mellow.
We used to call sheep over wintered too long on dairy cow early grass grazing, grass lice! Used to set the growth of grass back way too much as left on too long. Over the years, people are, have realised mid feb is latest to get them off. But, i admit they have a place, in the right fields, right length of time, just as youve done this year.
It will never cease to amuse me watching dogs herd the sheep, thanks for sharing.

That was AMAZING!!! Such a clever dog ❤
Wow, the sheepdog was so smooth and this was a great video. PS nice jacket I would definitely buy one of them😊
Greetings from Thessaloniki xx
This was fun to watch. I love border collies. They are definitely the most intelligent dogs.
Hi Tom, good video I enjoy different types of farming sheep cattle pigs' good job the dogs are fun to watch working. I hope JOE is feeling much better now!
That was a cool video that dog was full of energy and he really know his job
Hi great video we have a lot winter sheep around us,
Great video Tom so you will be selling lamb in the shop soon 🙂 as well 👏👏👍👍
Tom I have a question ..If sheep are looked after by shepherds are cows looked after by cowards?...lol Great channel love every bit of it. Tony.
a good suggestion for a Sunday video is an update on the ranger...
Fantastic insight into the roll of sheep on a dairy farm , great content n tom is great at filming and narrating 👍
Very good to see the sheep side of farming. Be nice to see some more maybe lambing
Love Heffer sheep opposed to ewe lambs or Hoggs in Scotland. 😊😊
Tom does "The Sheep Game". 😆 🤣 😂
Good look with sheep
Morning Tom. 90% today ❤
Interesting video Tom thanks ❤❤
You do know there are cattle dogs as well. ;) but they are a thing of beauty to watch in action.

For the sheep farmers out there, how do you combat ticks e.g use deosect and how frequently
I miss our dogs cuz we also have mules they are horrible to move so we just use a quad and a gator so having a dog is amazing .
Nice jacket. Are they going to be for sale? Hope you remembered to pickup your boots
Would love to see you follow the lads around and show their setup, very educational and rarely get an insight into sheep farming
Loved it, something new!
Mr Tom pemberton is that a dent in the tail gate of that beautiful truck 🆘🙈🙈🙈
We also do ours differently we don’t breed we buy lambs at 8 months old start off on grass then move to pellets and cake and have them till there 20 months and sell them for breeding stock
Thank you Tom 😊

88th! GOOD TUESDAY EVENING TOM,LUKE,HIEDI,AND THE GINGER WARRIOR WITH A MUSTACHE. ROGER IN PIERRE SOUTH DAKOTA USA
Don’t see much about sheep. That was interesting. Thank you
Paul seems like the sheep worlds equivalent of the Ginger Warrior.....
Amazing work with the dog.
When did you film this Tom .. He said he was fluking them for the second time this year...
So cool to watch the drone footage, nice video
Those sheep look amazing
Neat video, thanks for sharing. Love and prayers 😇💜
That was cool thanks
Great video as usual. Something different, sheep those guys certainly know how to handle them. Hope Jo and Harvey doing well after their sum what mediocre start.
Thanks
Amazing to see ❤
Yeah another inspirational video!!! Four leggers are tons faster than two leggers ..Lol
as a horse person ,there's a reason why we put sheep out with our horses haha. Horses destroy the land, having sheep in there with them helps a bunch. Though we often have to sow the land a bit anywyas
@Tom are the jackets coming to the merch store?
Paul and Richard will soon be dashing about lambing,with students on the back of his quad
Tom, have you what the Sheep game, Fern the Border Collie works well with their Sheep.
Love working dogs

I through the Jacob sheep where your dad's pet sheep.
He loves them?????
You are so good
Great video, love watching working dogs doing their best. Sheep certainly load differently than cattle!!! 🤣
Wonderful video! ❤
4:49 moving sheep with the coat is the way to do it, not keen on the electric prod.
I love those dogs!
Has the sheep had any scab spider mite in England not like Scotland which has a epidemic
10 sheep tom!, better give us their names then ;-)
👍👍 How long can you fly on 1 battery?
Great video Tom
Hey Tom! Is Harvey finally sleeping all night? Hang in there.
Which jacket is that Tom?
Very smart 🤓
Interesting video 👌
If you think Jacobs sheep are mad, you’ve never met Soay sheep!
Ain’t that the truth!!,
What’s that pocket thing for drench gun called
AWSOME video. N
Typically, a female sheep in the UK who is now coming up on her first birthday, is called a “hogget” or “hog.” She needs to grow and mature her first year
so she can be physically capable of carrying her lambs. When that ewe is going to the ram for her first babies, she gets called a “gimmer.” She then finally gets to be called a “ewe” when she’s had her first babies on the ground.
Anyone been able to find that drenching gun pouch online ?
The housemartins "sheep" should have been used in this
Do you ever have any Shropshire sheep?
Horses put nothing back into the land? Last time i looked mine produced huge amounts of manure that can be spread when it's rotted. Curious to know which breed of horses you own that don't do this!

My neighborhood gardener loves my horse.
Winter grazing by sheep is the trump card for grassland management.
i still have PTSD about that one time when i was delivering food for the cows on the 2nd farm. we had a auto feeder that you just dumped the mixed rations in and then it would come and give the cows food every hour or so. so i emptied my load in to the auto feeder and turned it on. whent in to the cows to manualy turn on the floor scarapers as we don't want them to be automatic when we are not there. i get the scraping done and then just notice that there are 4 cows munching on the food from outside the enclosure. i think god fucking damit 4 cows escaped and now i'm gonna have to chase them back in. once i actually looked att the other side of the building i noticed there where a gazilion cows all over the place that had escaped. that was a 5 hour battle and then another hour and a half of chasing and playing hide and seak with a calf in the corn fields.

👍
We get paid for sheeps on our land
You can train dog for cows 2 lol
🇿🇦♥️

🇨🇦👍
their bnf shut down many welch sheep farms ☢☢
Nice to see sheep for a change, but PLEASE Tom, DON'T call them heifers. They are called Hogs or hoggets (in Devon usually pronounced "UGS" Ewes are "yaws" or "yows")
