Have you considered testing the ewes on swimming or at least floating/paddling skills?
If that seems excessive, skill in using high heels or stilts? Hopefully these ewes don't see that much rain again in their lifetime, but you might want a predisposition to taller sheep.
Kidding, not kidding. Your sheep are looking great.

hi

[@user-ni8fm1mq3k]

I watched you last flock check as well as this one - the only thing I also think needs to leave the farm are dirty bums DB - here in NZ 40% of our flocks of sheep NZ wide are drench resistant (worms) and I think those sheep that needed extra drench are not fit to be kept, you could see clearly which ones they were because of their dirty back ends - or you guys will over the next 15-20years will have the same problem - or as Cammi says we will wait to see how NZ fixes the problem so we know what to do when we get their

Hi Tif, I completely agree but we haven’t drenched a ewe here in over 6 years

[@user-ni8fm1mq3k]

@@CowleyHillFarm Well done!! - NZ might need to look at the Lleyn to cross over our Romney's to see if that fixes the problem- rams coming from a worm free flock - there are a few getting into the Australian White because of shearing costs and wool prices - lets see what we do going forward - that what I like about farmers having a youtube channel - it brings the community together from around the world - do you watch Kiwi Farmer I think you will enjoy his content

How long after weaning do you give them to put condition on and making the decision to cull or not? I’ve a few weaned last week but I’m hoping they will put condition on after being off the lambs.

[@Georgia_s23]

If they don't regain condition before next time you put the ram in give them a year off, but only if they have no obvious problems like teeth or bag problems. Giving one of our ewes a year off as she always does her lambs too well. (I'm Georgia from in the video and have my own sheep too!)

[@neil3352]

@@Georgia_s23 thanks Georgia. Rams don’t go in again til start of October so plenty of time I think to put condition back on hopefully.

Need to get a silicone wedding ring to wear when your working Will, wearing a metal one is dangerous on a farm. Plus you'll won't damage or lose it. 👍

Funnily enough I bought one but was too tight
