OH poor dear. SO many of the little devils, too. SO glad you found her and got her correct. Truly admire the tiny livestock guardian/herding dogs. Great thinking pups. HA
I haven't seen Ebony in your flock since September 19th. I can see LitleBit, EarFeather, Kristal and all the others except her.... She always comes first to the gate, walks with you friendly...Is she OK, Suzanna?
This woman shouldn't have so many sheep that she can't keep up with their shearing to keep them healthy. Routine inspection & shearing the flock is necessary!! Once the ewes isolate they're already being eaten alive. Only have a flock size you can manage effectively.
Thank you for your advice. There is a growing issue of shearer’s availability. if I had a bigger flock I could have gotten a shearer but as I have a small flock of sheep I could not get a shearer to come shear my sheep as it wasn’t worth their time. On previous years I shore the sheep myself when I couldn’t get someone to shear but this year I’m recovering from a neck injury so couldn’t do it myself. luckily this year was a very cool summer and only a few sheep got fly strike which I took care of. Hopefully this answers your questions.

Your tiny sheep dogs are adorable💖. Your sheep are beautiful🐑
Thank you
What beautiful sheep!
The sheep are mostly so good about coming in.
Looks like lovely wool. My chickens would have a field day with those maggots, but I’m glad we don’t have that problem here.
They know their shepherd's voice and follow her!
Beautiful
aweee, it's nice to see an animal with flystrike get scratched and acknowledged.
So much fly strike this year! Icky stuff, poor girlies.
Hello , thanks for this beautiful nature vidéo see you later my friend have a good day 😊😊😊
Does fly strike have a big impact on the fleece value as you have to remove quite a lot.
Where maggots have been fleece becomes manky. Otherwise the rest is quite good
I love this type of sheep. They are beautiful! What kind are they? ❤
Zwartbles sheep
I do hope the rest of the ewes will be okay for you.
Was Krystal the lamb who’s mom wasn’t quite being a good mammy the first couple of days? You are her auntie ❤️
They have a lot to say lol
Like1 ❤❤
Is it too late to get the sheep sheared? That fly strike looks so painful.
Is it just my imagination or is fly strike worse this year? Is it the weather? SO sorry!
They all need a hair cut right?
You sound American, but I wasn't aware of this breed in the USA....other than crosses

Is that from one fly laying eggs or a few flies? 🫣 Is it quite late in the year for fly strike?
