- Follow along the exhilarating day of chores/happenings on the sheep farm, in the midst of winter lambing. If you are watching this in summer, only a few short days left until the frigid doom returns.
Thanks for tuning in!
Great job! Really enjoying the videos, doing a great job!
Thank you so much!
You have just made a ewe turn or should I say u turn as in driving mate i envy you would you like an ex shepherd to help you mate
Doing great, I'll be tuning in. Can't wait for some good summer grazing videos as well. I'm down in the states so summer is full swing. I'd like to see a few videos on the numbers and paperwork as well. Lambing rates, amount of ewes bred, feed costs, etc. We are in the process of starting up a rideau confinement operation we are 100% hair pasture based right now.
Thanks for the comment Tyde. Not sure how in depth I want to get on numbers in the future, still getting used to seeing my face on the internet. I am filming several months behind, which is by choice. Confinement Rideau is work, plain and simple. Thankful I don't do it that way. I live very close to the largest packer in western canada, and our prices in Canada are very strong. This week finished lambs are around $350/hd (expect this to crash shortly due to season). Roughly for this lambing there were 3 groups. 120/120/40 for 280 total +/-. I lambed about 260, but 25 of those that didn't lamb were open for 2 years in a row so they were just bad sheep. I ended up with about 440 live, marketable lambs. Keeping about 100 back for now, trying to rebuild with some better genetics. Thanks for tuning in, I really appreciate it. Any other questions ask away.
I just watched your video for the first time I subscribed to your channel. I hope to see a lot more videos. Keep up the great job. 😊
Hey thanks so much!
Glory be to the Creator of this universe. People suffer from cold and people suffer from heat

How long are your lambs and ewes in the barn before they are moved out?
I think the videos are great and you are doing a great job. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I just subscribed to your channel and will go back and watch all the previous videos.
I think you did a good job and it's the first video of your's I'm viewing and I subscribed
Hey thank you so much!
I realize you are way past lambing but...for next time....Letting ewes run out of water is the fastest way to decrease milk production. Better to install tank float valves in your stock tanks and gravity feed. Then you only have to ensure the water in your main tank is higher than the float valve. Dare Tank-O-Matic Float Valves work great. You can dose a ewe with oxytocin several days in a row to boost milk production in low production ewes when they've just lambed. Why don't you put your poorly outdoor lamb in with your weaned lambs inside? That fast forward lambing was priceless. Last bit of advice: barn cameras. Bet your glad the grass is up now!
You only see what I let the camera show. Thanks for watching.
Hello from Arkansas USA I raise Katahdin hair sheep . Enjoyed watching your day.
Watching from Ontario (~50 ewes of Rambouillet and Rideau), big fan of your ingenuity with the self made equipment and approach. Are you pasture grazing at all or is it all barnyard style? How big is your lambing barn? How long are you keeping moms/lambs in the barn?
Hey I appreciate it!
Ewes go on pasture June 1, lambs are all fed in feedlot. Currently we are about as dry as I have ever seen, barley silage is less than half yield and grass has quit growing. Going to be a very interesting year.
Barn is 40x60. I keep them in for a minimum of 10 days depending on how cold it is.
Great job this little lame are beautiful.
My first video of you. Baby lambs are so cute.
Yeah the girls only want me for my lambs
Spot is adorable!!!!
I don’t know much about sheep farming but I love to watch Sandi Brook and the sheep game and I think you’re doing a great job both sheep farming and editing! Your videos look great! Keep up the good work!
Hey that is very kind of you, thank you!

New subscriber here! I found your vlog and I think you’re doing a great job with the sheep, seems like you’re out in the barn from daylight til dark, tough job I bet! Also, your vlogs are longer than most, which is great! 😊
