Great video Glyn the deer 🦌 is a new sheepdog she went to bring the sheep down from footpath 😂 the weather has improved massively Great video Glyn boy 👍
Hello from California! Glad to se that your weather has gotten better! Wow you guys really had to suffer through a tough spring. Thanks for a grand video. Here’s to good days ahead!
Well, your dad was hard to understand! But now it’s difficult to understand you as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Or the tree is not far from the so. All in jest. Just want to smile and enjoy the TH-cam and give your family the advantage of funds or wealth. You’ve earned it, its just want to understand all conversations, please, smiles, B.
Great video thank god for the good weather, anything over 10% is too many lamb's to lose, how are the heffers must be never calving now, fair play to Colm with the mayo jersey 💚❤️
Great to see the weather is doing much better now. 12 to 20% is a huge loss, I've never gone more than 6% in my cattle but most years we are over 100% calf crop because of twins. The Sheep are on average 4% loss but with triples we've gone over 200% live crop at weaning.
I was told by a vet, when first starting with sheep, over 2% mortality I should reassess my husbandry. But rare for anyone to lamb the numbers you do, in this area. I only ran 200 ewes and all lambed in the close pasture or in a barn, typically in May, so easy to do night checks every 2 hrs. and keep ewes with triplets/ quads/quints in lambing pens, so very low mortality. When you are lambing over a thousand and no shelter, the mortality is bound to go up. I've always been curious, do you not have better weather in May, then your grass is up and lambs are ready for market later, when the auctions have less lambs and better prices?
Great video/jobs Guys 👍 Glad the ☀️ has got it's hat on for ye 🌞 It's 💔 when the wee lambs loss their mum but you guy's save the day🥰 Will that 🦌 cause harm to the sheep🤔 I hope you got advice on electric fencing if not ask Adrian at We farm his knowledge is Ace👍 it was Adrian who recommended your channel to me👍 Big shout out to O'Neil's for their amazing equipment and quads, helping farm's like yours to tick over nicely 👍 Have a lovely day Guys ❤
hi I was wondering does everyone have as much trouble with lambing as you are having, It seems very rough work you have to do, cheers to you and your dad, It's good the weather has dried up for a while ,,🌞☘
When you’ve got two singles and your putting lambs on, the best thing is to swap their own lambs over. That way they’ve got two new lambs and don’t favour their own.
Did ya try the can of lynx spray both lambs heads and tails and on the ewes nose the ewe won’t be able to tell the difference between either lamb then between her own lamb and adopted lamb .
Cuckoos are singing delightfully this morning here in the North west of Ireland, they have been here a week and we love to here them. Mostly come from North Africa. Weather is better here and it has made farming easier, its been a tough spell.
That looked to be young Sika stag, you could turn a coin selling the hunting of them hunters go mental for Sika stags. Really enjoyed your videos over lambing and feel for you with the weather struggles
thats from scanning time to whek they are sold. its fairly accurate tbh, you dont count them until you have money in pocket, plenty will doe from here till September
NZ lamb losses sit at around 15-18% with ewe losses at around 4.5% We lamb outside - lamb prices here are crap NZ$110 for a lamb at the market which is 61.08 EUR and cull ewes NZ$67 or 37.20 EUR they do not survive on sheep farming alone
It really is disgraceful. Retired sheep farmer in Wales here. Just had a Sunday roast of Welsh lamb shoulder, it compared very badly with the quality NZ leg we had recently. You produce a consistent quality product that takes a lot of beating. I don’t understand why you are not getting a fair price.
So the ewe is stone dead…. Are stones deader than other things.?😂❤😂 Sorry paramedic here and we use gallows humor 😮😊 Edit: I love love love you guys! ❤❤❤❤
Glynn your dad’s humour is lovely! Great to see the sun, and your farm is beautiful! Another great video…
ANYONE that says they have NO PROBLEMS EVER are either: 1. Not doing anything OR 2: Lying.
God bless ye for your service over the years farmers don’t get the credit deserved ❤love from béal féirste
WOW. You sure keep the stalls and everything else like water bowls etc very clean. Top-notch fella.
Thanks 👍
Great to see the sunshine. After all those dad days.
Great video Glynn. Hopefully the weather stay good & summer has arrived. The cuckoo was always a sure sign. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼

Great day for it,

from scanning time yo when you sell them.
ewes abort etc, its a long time till September. a few will die before then aswell.

Brilliant farmer's
Good stuff

the more sheep you have the more trouble, its not easy. yes of course they do.
Where did ye get the small spreader ,, looks like a handy machine to have
god bless you and the farm. and my god bless you well.
When a dead sheep goes to the knacker, what do they do with the carcass?
Cracking video as always
Ye were lucky with 6 months of rain we had 10 months in mayo
I counted 21 deer 🦌 grazing my hill in West Wicklow this weekend lad
Native deer or Sica, supposed to be from Japan. It would be good to know how much TB is in both groups.
Shapeandcattle oh god
@@michaeloconnor9809 Sika and I think they have inter bred as well with native
Can you tell me where you got your pens and headgates?
sheep products.ie
Would you be better off lambing a few weeks later. More grass and maybe better weather
When you’ve got two singles and your putting lambs on, the best thing is to swap their own lambs over. That way they’ve got two new lambs and don’t favour their own.
Sounds like a good plan.
Have you had any TB test on the cows yet? Hopefully the deer stay away from them.
That's not good lad and your working hard with your sheep 🐑 🎉🎉🎉
Did ya try the can of lynx spray both lambs heads and tails and on the ewes nose the ewe won’t be able to tell the difference between either lamb then between her own lamb and adopted lamb .
You should do a video in the cows
Hon Mayo....
29 /4/24 north east Scotland Aberdeenshire still pissing doon
Nice ta see the sun ☀️. Yas weathered the storm well 😁. been a tough " 9 months of weather" across the British Isles & Éire
In warwickshier we don't here a cuckoo at all
Cuckoos are singing delightfully this morning here in the North west of Ireland, they have been here a week and we love to here them. Mostly come from North Africa. Weather is better here and it has made farming easier, its been a tough spell.
💪🇮🇪💪
I didn’t hear the cuckoo yet

Fair play for being so honest on the losses, cause it is reality..........the arseholes who tell ya they only lost 1or2 are full of BS
I think you’re way off with the 20% losses stat!! Im an average farmer lambing outside and if I lost 20/100 I’d pack it in!!

sheep prices here are good at the moment
Agree ,sheep farming in nz is a race to the bottom.Throw in a drought and a loss for wool and its a complete shit show.

@@wendyrowland7787 someone is making money but it is not the NZ farmer
@@wendyrowland7787 Cost from farm gate to the ship is massive in nz ,processing cost etc are huge.
Dad's brilliant but I wish he would wear the crash helmet when on the quad.
So the ewe is stone dead…. Are stones deader than other things.?😂❤😂
Sorry paramedic here and we use gallows humor 😮😊
Edit: I love love love you guys! ❤❤❤❤
Headstone maker in my area has a big sign that reads" stone mad". Made of course in stone.
We lost 1 sheep and 2 lambs
