In this video, we kick things off by gathering lambs in a large field using our Kelpie, Moose. My dad then joins in as we sort lambs for selling, separate ewe lambs from the flock, and give them a proper dose. A few days later, I head to another farm to help with fattening lambs, where I show you around their setup. We also treat several lambs for lameness, sharing tips and insights on keeping the flock healthy and productive.

Yes more content in fattening lambs
Awesome mate, keep these videos coming.
Moose is really starting to come on now with plenty of work. They say some kelpies you need to run out to the paddock to take the edge off so they listen better 🤣🤣 he definitely looks like a yard dog!
Haha thanks Colin!
Always enjoy your videos, but this one was exceptional. I think because it was the simplicity of it. Farmer, dog, sheep, all in a gorgeous location. Your calm voice, and love for your animals is calming in a world that is full of unrest. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to bring us along your farming journey.
PS please give Moose a “good boy” and a headscratch for me 🐕🐾🦴🙂
Thank you for the kind words!
Excellent video again thanks for sharing the dog 🐕 did a great job bringing in the lambs
Karol, this was great! Enjoyed watching Moose work and also found the feeding shed information interesting.
Glad it was helpful Michelle
Brilliant video love the day to day farming
Great content finishing 120 mountain weathers myself
Would love to see a bit more like this 👊👌
Will do!
Interesting video , always enjoy your vlogs
Moose Is coming on great guns and will no doubt be a very valuable member of the team
Is it common to house fattening lambs in Ireland, in the uk a lot of lambs are put onto stubble turnips etc to fatten - good for the sheep(&shepherd) and good for the crop farmer
Another really enjoyable video keep them coming
Thanks Paul glad you're enjoying them. 😁
Interesting history around the Knocknarea mountains there, of Queen Mave. She was the only queen that seemed to like North County Cheviots, she had a history or fearsome warrior. Mostly like poached the sheep out of Scotland.
Very impressive work with you young Kelpie, nice footage. It reminds me of the relentless days of gathering horned sheep off high Rocky hills when I was a young lad in West Cork and Kerry. The lost and dizzy loners that would give you more of a work out that the whole bunch.
Keep fluids up and keep smiling.
I was wondering if you know of the Jim & Mervyn Gallowe up near Easky or some direction . I meet them buying NC rams and ewes. I lost their contacts.
I don’t know them William sorry! I’m in north Sligo
Moose is a machine! I like his total joy in working.
He sure is!
Good job Moose! He is certainly learning. 😊
I like the way you explain things. Thanks for the video
Thank you!
Cracking video as always
Great video Karl as always 👌
Glad you enjoyed it Gary
Great video 👍🏻
Another good video
Keep it going
Will do Seanie
Moose looks much better now. Coming into his own.
He sure is Eric! Hard to beat plenty of work. 😎
Hi hope you're keeping well you have some nice sheep haven't seen your sister for a long time how she doing and keep the video coming 😊
Thank you Paul! She's great, she doesn't really do youtube videos anymore!
Yes. Enjoyed this one.
that wood be good good to watch with the feed
I have two kelpies, they're the best. One loves the yards and is very full on, don't really use her in the paddocks as she just runs and forgets about me. My other is the paddock dog, her and I have moved mobs of over 1,000. Kelpies are great dogs but they need to be able to think for themselves, best thing I've been taught is to set the situations up for a win, particularly during training days, life will be easier as they progress. Now to find another Kelpie to add to the team....
Good advice!
Super video again 👍
Thanks Martin
Moose is great😂 miss Casey though
Your moose looks, sounds, body and head especially of a NZ Huntaway dog breed. More so than the collie x kelpie
I agree Kirsty! But i'm told he's a kelpie haha
Do you fatten horned organic lambs??
I’ve heard organic nuts isn’t great and that theirs no feed value in them
I don't Darren, the lambs in those sheds are conventional lambs, that's interesting!
More about the fattening if you can
The Wiltshire shepherds of old on the chalk downland were known as lookers. Observation probably has always been the name of the game.I love the personality of Kelpies, but being such high energy dogs they need lots of work. Is it true that they have some Dingo blood?
Yes
Moose is doing great. But where's Casey? I miss seeing her. You said she was back at your home place. Is she ok?
I've missed a few of your videos. 😢
She's keeping well Lisa, I went straight to this job rather than going back home for her
Where did you get the kelpie .?
He belongs to my partner Gerard
Whats trade like for blackfaced ewe lambs at the moment?
It's been good this year, up from last year.
Horned sheep never liked being inside
More on the fattening, she'd is two closed in they need all the air they can get ,not good to pare foot rot on straw bed it speeds like he'll
Good job thire alot work.with sheep.

I would have to think about cutting my losses. If two lambs are costing me half the time I spend on the whole flock, then I'd rather eat them myself and spend the time I save improving the healthier lambs. But I'm an economist, not a farmer.
Sheep farmers are not like that - 1000 sheep and 1 missing would look for them till found - dead or alive.
You have to spend time and money to make money buddy
Most farmers don’t see this always be open to change
Especially this year lamb prices will soar pretty soon. From where they are now
But that’s just my opinion
As is you’re opinion
Fattening lambs in my experience is well worth it
