  • What's up guys!
    This week we're in Carrick-on-Shannon at the 2023 Carrick Prolific Ewe Lamb Sale. There's 700 breeding ewe lambs at the sale and lambs aren't trading as well as last year so we may not get enough for them!
    Watch the video to see how we do!

    I was glad to see a new video today! I don't understand much about the market, but it looks as though you were disappointed and for that I am sorry. It was good to see your cheeky little sister and your dad. Thank you for sharing.

    That's the way it goes sometimes defenatly noticed this year that hill lambs have not been doing aswell as they had been last year although there has been a bit of a drop in the trade across breeds or at least in the uk saying that the big heavier breeds still seem to be doing alright. Having said that this winter whith higher imput costs I reakon it will pay to have slightly smaller hardy stock. Keep up the good work whit the vlogs and sheep!

    I especially liked your "Irish" sheep - green and orange trim. 🇮🇪 The orange was consistent on all, but the neck colors changed. Orange=to be sold, colors=pen groups????
    I too liked all the young people there. Cammy Wilson shows a lot of them as well. So great for the future. Food and honorable jobs.

      I missed this comment! Glad to hear you like seeing the young people.
      Irish sheep. 😂 You're right, the different neck colours are just for different groups of lambs, it allows you to easily sort them in the mart into the groups that you picked out earlier in the day. 😊

    It's quite nice that you have a co-op auction. Unfortunately, due to the background noise I had a real hard time hearing the people that you were talking to. Thanks for the video! -JoLori from rural West Virginia, USA

      Very sorry about that! I chanced not using the rode mic as we were inside but I never thought of the auctioneer! I'll use it from now on.

    They looked great lambs, what weights were they? Bring them down to carnew mart you'd have got alot more for them. You might even have change left after the tank of diesel 😀

    Them's the breaks! Been listening to some great cowboy podcasts on sell-buy marketing of cattle, be interesting if the same principles could be applied to sheep...

      I've met plenty of cowboys in the sheep game too 😂😂 Hope all is well with you mate.

    Unlucky mate. Lambs definitely looked strong enough for 110 plus

      A pen of them made 125 the following week, it's hit and miss!

    Thanks for explaining about these coop sales and interviewing a few folks. I raise a few Texels in the US and am fascinated by how popular they are over your way. Will you put the ewe lambs back in your breeding program since they didn’t sell?

    • @ewetube.videos
      @ewetube.videos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jami, great to hear. We ended up selling them in later sales,that video was recorded a month ago. More videos to come, stay tuned!

    Loved your lambs.I wish you could give the sale price in American dollars also for those of us who don't understand your money amount.loved the video also.

      @ewetube.videos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The screen would be covered in prices then Anna, british pounds, canadian and australian dollars, etc. 😂 Maybe if you have your phone near hand just take the euro price and do a quick google search. :)

    I have been watching for your newest post. Although I don't know anything about sheep, it seems that you weren't pleased with the price. We never win them all, so just keep going and better luck ahead. Loved seeing your family, your Dad, sister.

    Crazy the different prices half a world away. 40kg meat lambs here sold for the same price as the top replacement ewes at your sale

    • @ewetube.videos
      @ewetube.videos  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it seems to be nuts over there Brian! No payments though so the prices probably need to be good!

    £100 isn’t bad at all

    • @ewetube.videos
      @ewetube.videos  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's €100 Rob, that's 85 or 90 pound I guess? Not entirely sure. Similar lambs were flying over €120 earlier in the year and last year!
