Thanks for sharing, I don't know if you have seen the sucker thing sandy brock uses on her sheep that find it hard to get started breathing, would something like that help suck the fluid out of the lambs mouths ❤
Thank you for taking us all along through all the ups and downs of your lambing season! I´ve started to like the Lleyns quite a lot. Terrific mothers!! Would you say they are more prone to prolapses than other breeds though? How many % per year of your ewes are afflicted would you estimate? All the best from the Island of Gotland, Sweden.
What about getting a big poly tunnel as a cheap barn to use as a bulking up pen should adverse weather occur. We used to evict the machinery and bed that shed up in the bad years. It made all the difference to lamb survival. The tunnel could be a good standby for a productive veg garden.
Oh my gosh, the ewe with the bucket, so typical of sheep! Sometimes sticking a straw stem up a lamb's nose will stimulate it to take a breath. And full chest compressions even if the heart's beating slightly, can help revive a lamb. Some shepherds shock the lamb into breathing by pouring cold water in the ear canal (I've never tried that). No reason not to help a ewe when you can and save her some stress.
Would / must a seller or breeder take back a ewe and reimburse you if you bought it with a deformaty (which in case of the short udder is "visible" when sold)?
Small question - you are calling your first-time mamas “shearlings.” I’ve also heard young female sheep called hogs (or hoggets) and gimmers. I believe shearling means a female sheep that has been clipped once - so I am wondering if that makes them equivalent to one of the other terms.
Hi Pat a shearling or yearling is a first time lamber which is pretty much the same as a gimmer. Whereas a Hogg is a lamb before it is shorn after the new year
Thanks for that video Will, and good luck with the rest of the lambing.
Great video Will big lambs 👌
Thanks Will. It is good to sed the quints doing well and the prolapse lamb and ewe are holding their own.
👍😊👍
Interesting

I believe it's called a resuscitator.
A piece of paper towel to wipe the nose and inside the mouth to soak up the mucous, does the job just as well.
@@wendyrowland7787lol uh no.
@@chamqual6480 have you tried it?
Best wishes as your lambing season continues!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!🙏❤

Awesome job bud 👍🏻
Do you get rid of the sheep that suffer with prolapse’s, all the best with this years lambing, keep up the good work.
Yes we do

Do you think chucking nuts into the pen has anything to do with the mastitis?

They are reimbursing us for ours and I’d expect others to do the same
