You are a very interesting family lovely girls no doubt they’ve got plenty of work in them! I was a bit worried when I saw the pony and 3 girls you will need another thousand sheep! Thank you for putting these vids together.
Well done on the store lamb trade team ,lots of shepherds could learn a lot from this video , that's the needto batch lambs according to breed and size , well done with the Beltex , I clip our Beltex lambs tails , level out their backs and trim around their chest and heads and they just dance around the ring.Great work and hope that great wee worker you have is OK.
@@emmett1739 yes she's fine. Hoping to sort penny out soon. And give her a couple lessons will boost her confidence. They have only cost us 2 worm doses amd a little time. Keep them any longer and they go with profits that's why we never sell anything fat. 1 because it costs to keep them longer 2 because we don't have enough grass compared to a lowland farm and would go with profits to start feeding them we would love to keep to fatten and vet £160 plus a lamb but feed bill would be scarey 🤣 might have to with our little lambs but we will see.
@@Sam-shutt hey that system suits your farm well , don't change it and its good to have a steady cash flow and clean well batched stores always do well with low land farms having a surplus of flush grass at this time of year.good luck
@@emmett1739 thank you amd yes it works well just shame we can't take them further and get the fat price 🤣🤣 would love to see them grow out to there best
Lovely video! It’s so nice to see the good side of Ollie! Champion dad it’s great seeing your caring and loving way with the kids. Love seeing him smile and laugh 😊The sheep are looking good!
So glad the prices were great for you. As I’ve said in a lot of your videos you’ve bred, fed, watered and looked after their welfare needs. No Farmers No food 😊😊😃😃👍 👍 🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sam glad to hear Mable is ok after her fall and best thing to get back on as soon as possible and very good lamb prices , one reason I love your channel is you keep us informed on current trade at the auction , well done Sam and Oliver and keep safe all of you
@@michaelhartley9450 yes she's fine thank god. Well I thought that so we got back on when we got home. Some might not agree but that's what we did. Yes and I love it. Might go on a fat ring day and see the comparison if we kept them untill they were fat.
Another great video! After our youngest had a fall years ago we got her a body protector, and now her eldest goes riding too. Decathlon sell them for about £55. Definitely worth every penny, as even the quietest pony can spook at the daftest of things. I love how your children get involved, they certainly are a credit to you both .
@@TheKayc136 oh okay thats a good idea ! Will break the fall a bit! Thank you ! Went nuts in the field, crackers infact! So we going to get that sorted. And mabel lesson or two. They love it and there brilliant 😃
So good seeing James helping OUT ,👍👍 I love the way your kid's get involved. You are all doing a grand job at the farm . Tell penny to WORK ON when you kick her on . So good to see you progressing with penny's journey .Take care and all the best. 😄😄😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@kudapooda9993 we are trying! Just when she's on grass she goes nuts! We realised this when it was to late ! We won't give up tho 💪he wasn't snapping taggs of fast enough so I had to do that bit 🤣🤣
Hi Sam and family, Thanks for another vlog😁 Accidents are bound to happen especially when gaining experience while pony riding. Hope Mabel is all better and back on her pony. I think Oliver should keep wearing that shirt inside out for luck on mart day. Enjoy the weather look forward to another blog soon (I hope😂)🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@evelynmur27 yes I agree ! Good idea ! I will remind him 🤣yes she's great but penny just went nuts in the field. No stopping her! 🤣 we will school her a bit and give mabel a couple lessons.
I am thinking , currently , yours is the best farming channel. Oliver needs to ask his brother how he keeps in trim, better to sort out now than later. Glad young Mabel is good. On the other hand, I can currently tell Oliver and Peter apart.
Love watching your videos I'm comeing to the end of my farming life still have a some fight in me. Your young with a young family do you see a futcher in my life iv seen how it can change in such a short time ?
@@richardwood1846 absolutely keep fighting on 💪who nos it's just a case of going with the flow and doing the oppersite of what everyone else is doing .🤣
Are all livestock sold with "luck money" or just certain sales Seen luck money at cattle sales on Evie Gibbons channel, but not every seller was holding money Sorry, not sure of auction protocol Pleased you youngen is OK Take care all Geoff
@@noon8019 when you buy stock from an auction its an old tradition to give them some luck money. So it's like a "good luck" with the lambs and hope they do well for you type of thing. Been around for centuries.
You got a good rattle for those lambs, but in fairness they look very well, hopefully the trade will stay good for the rest of the back end. Sold the first of our ewe lambs at the local show and sale on Tuesday, came fourth in the show but topped the sale, two lads just got stuck into them because as far as I was concerned the judge was right but as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tell Mabel that falling off is part of the learning curve and at her age she almost bounces on the other hand when she is as old as me ( ancient) there’s no bounce left, not that the fall is the problem, it’s the sudden stop at the end that hurts!regards from Ireland
@@Andy-ix2ox yes she's at an age to learn and get back on. Some won't agree but it's how we feel. Hopefully stay well or we are buggerd 🤣well done ! That's an achievement 👏 we sometimes show cattle at a show and sale and get the odd Rossett but not often 🤣
Where was Jim at the sale ring ? He was crying wanting in last time ?? Oliver inside out shirt...with the sleeves chopped off too...classy. The pony obviously needs schooling by someone who knows what they are doing. Mabel is keen but she is going to get hurt.
@@jimmyjohnstone5878 we will school the pony a bit I have a friend that will and give mabel some lessons. We arnt giving up on her penny yet 🥰 he's a classy man 🤣🤣🤣
@@GlynMorgan-i1o it's luck money so when you buy stock whoever is selling them usually gives some luck back. So saying good luck with them and hope they do well for you type of thing.
Your a great worker Sam give yourself a bit of me time
You are a very interesting family lovely girls no doubt they’ve got plenty of work in them! I was a bit worried when I saw the pony and 3 girls you will need another thousand sheep! Thank you for putting these vids together.

Well deserved price , if yiu can get that for twins makes staying up all night to make sure they survive worth it.
@@RonaldMunn-l8s absolutely 💯
Oliver you don't need to hit the lambs with the stick no one else dose
looks like a new gate to your field off the road is needed.......not good having a broken gate next to a road
@@geraldbeard856 correct one of them jobs to do

Seen luck money at cattle sales on Evie Gibbons channel, but not every seller was holding money
Sorry, not sure of auction protocol
Pleased you youngen is OK
Take care all

@GeoffreyMoore-i9k every seller should really. But not everyone does 🙄

Keep smiling keep them coming
