A really great sheep channel to watch is Sandi Brock. She’s in Canada and is awesome! She has lots of great info! Much love to you and your animals!!
Love Sandi. ❤
The one purpose sheep have in life is to find the most ways to die from my experience!! We have Lincoln longwools and they constantly amaze me with their resourcefulness of finding ways to get stuck in fences, get stuck on their backs and be fine one minute and at deaths door the next. Never a dull moment that’s for sure!! Blue spray is the stock farmers friend along with baler band and works on all livestock whether it be dogs, cats children or even farmyard animals🙂🙂 looking forward to your lambs mate,defo a sign of spring👍🏻☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Thanks
Pete
My family has a dairy goat farm and we use the small pairs of garden shears. They work really well but from time to time you'll still catch your hand with them
Mind your health, especially your back Tom,,, You're young so its a long road ahead. Things you do now, to mind yourself, will pay off in 40/50 years time.
Well done, you're going well. God bless ye all.
“I’ll get mother on it” he saying!! 😂 yup 👍
No matter how old you always still need your mommy! 😌❤️

Remember to clip all the wool around the back end of the sheep, to help prevent the lambs being born straight into a load of shitty infected bacterial nasty wool 👍
I use bergon and ball goat hoof trimmers for my sheeps hooves. they are pretty reasonably priced here in new England, and they are nice and compact. added bonus, once they wear out you can still cut shrub branches with them.
I think what I love most about these videos is the fact that you love to learn more and more I love it
Who needs a first aid kit! All you need in farm vehicles is blue/purple spray and a roll of electrical tape! Used that method thousands of time and it's never once got infected! Some things you will learn about sheep is that they're not as stupid as they make out. If there's a hole in the fence they WILL find it. The only thing sheep are good at is dying, one day they're running around fine, the next theyre dead. Keep a bottle of calcium solution handy, was told a quick way to get them back around if they're down 20 ml in the gut then 40 in the armpit under skin. Only used it once normally under skin works but I've seen it done several times. Should give their back ends and inside of legs a clip before they lamb makes it cleaner and less chance if infection to sheep and lamb. 👍🏻
1:17 mind them hitting the gate or they get a hurt. Happened to one ewe and she had two huge lambs that where pure rotten and she got a dogging getting them out she ended up dead because of blood poisoning a day later...
Your dad with the spray sounds like my father in law when I had trouble breastfeeding, he gave me udder cream to use. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
My mum would do the same an put blue spray on my cuts I can remember when I cut my head an I was walking round the farm with blue spray on my head 😂
love it same i think being a farmers kid we all went through it
Tom lad don't turn them over when heavy in lamb they could twist the lambs and pitch or dead lambs head 2 any good co op for set foot shears
Nice one Tom. Best advice I can give u on sheep is stay away an that's coming from a Welshman 🤣
😂😂 u beat me to it! I was gonna a say sell em!
H.S AGRICULTURAL 🙈

Hi tom, best way to do sheep’s feet is to give them a long acting antibiotic, bit of spray if necessary but by no means trim them back as it can actually make them much worse, tried it on our flock at home and definitely works a lot better and is a lot less hassle!
tip 1: we also have sheeps and we always cut the hooves of the sheep before they go outside. that's really super useful and it's better for the sheeps and lambs inside to do it trimming after the birth
tip 2: on Google and TH-cam is a lot of useful information about sheeps so check that for sure out. and this year on my channel will come more sheep video's so i hope you will like it
Yo thessa
@@James-ql6qq yo James, how are you doing?
@@T.V.agrivideos good
@@James-ql6qq Nice 👌🏻
I maybe get up close and personal with cows feet but jeeso sheeps feet smell on a different level! .... and yep tet spray has always been used for ever cut!!
The Hoof GP cows are not that bad that might be big but they are not the worst ( horses are )
@@dylanpadden3575 .... you wouldnt be catching me near a horse
The Hoof GP No Thankyou! 😂
Hi tom just a tip to ya when your turning the sheep over to do her feet just twist her head away for you and push down on her back side 👍
Jakoti shears are a great pair of snipe, very sharp and easy for cutting hoovrs and great for clipping wool e.g. dagging
Awesome.. I'm a big fan of lambing season. Great work and video.
Tom did you thoroughly read the instructions. The side of the neck is where you should make a ‘tent’ of the skin to inject. The trade wants clean hides. Not with possible abscesses or nodules.
My dad was a vet for the local farmers and used that blue wound-kote spray when we got cut if it was on hand.
Nice one Tom, Blue spray always helps & never hinders! 👍
What is the blue spray for?
I second watching Sandi Brock. She's got a pair of battery operated hoof trimmers.
another brilliant video tom, we have a small flock of continental cross ewes and we tend to use a heptovac gun as it just makes the job a lot easier, safer and quicker! we get our foot trimmers from mole valley or farmacy and they seem to work a treat but pretty sure you can pick them up in any country store or vets?
I would avoid tipping heavily pregnant ewes Tom, it could come back and bite you in the bum, if she's a bit lame, leave her until after you take her out of the lambing pen. (Don't clip in the pen either you could spread the rot) Hygiene is key to successful lambing.p.s. I hate sheep :-)
No u have to do that
Farmer P no u have to do that
you have to do that or the ewe will not move around and she will get thin and the die so your wrong and not a farmer
Tom, does the blue paint on the wool effect it’s selling price ! I enjoy the q+a with Heidi ! Seems you’ve found a real hard worker in her ! I’m starting to see a pattern in your work ethic. Same asThe Hoof GP and Craig, there seems to be passion in your work. I very much enjoy learning about UK farm life. Shawn Sisk, Canada
Good way to check if the sheep are dry is to look at the road if the roads dry the sheep are as well
What did you inject ? Prostaglandin or just vitamins ? Our person who sheer our sheep used a nipper to trim the hooves. I forgot what the gestation time is on sheep ? We haven’t had sheep in 30 years !
Nice vid , don’t listen to the ones who say “don’t turn them over “ it’s perfectly safe to do so, you will do no damage to the lamb inside, I used to contract lamb 8000 ewe’s on three farms, so I think I know what I’m talking about , Well done mate 👍👍👍
Stu Barry Thanks Stu😀
Thank you!! Finally someone who knows what they are doing. I swear there’s enough coach specialists to make you pull your hair out
Sandi brock is 1 to watch for sheep.Just found your videos someone may have already recommended her :)
An easier way of turning ewes over Tom is grab them with 1 hand under the chin. Put your knee in against their side, put ur right hand just before the hip on the right hand side, then bend the head to the right back and turn over. It's easierthanpulling them over😊
Aren’t you glad you learned the head tilt method of rangling sheep! We always got the purple spray! Stings!
A tip to turning sheep over, bend their head 180 around away from you and pull their back end away with the other hand a lot easier than lifting and turning
Tip for knocking them twist there head towards there body away from you and keep there head in that position it strains them and can’t hurt you
I like seeing the sheep. It's easier to see the curiosity of the cows, but the sheep are cute.
I used to be a big sheep farmer but I'm now a dairy farmer
Great vid tom
Tip for sheep, when they are so much into lamb don’t rush them at all it’s not worth the risk

When your turning the sheep over, it’s easier if you turn their head back.
Best for lambing is to trim the back end to make lambing a cleaner process, reducing the risk of infection in the ewe with muck in the wool.
We use Burgon and Ball hoofshears they are great in my opinion.
I do the same. Small ones with green grips. Works well and not expensive. Has many uses!
I agree only ones that work well
bordercollieBente I will have to get these looked at!!
Great video Tom
The best ones are those with the serrated blades. Carrs Billington sell them.
As usual very good vid, nothing like using the right tools for the job.Get that cut treated pretty quick as infection soon takes hold.
Can’t beat a bit of “blue spray” spiked my leg on a grader and slashed my leg so my dad sprayed it on it. Brilliant 😅
You must have the cows out at this stage tom with the weather so good!!
MrDonfrans Not yetmate!
Tom Pemberton Farm Life 🙈 open the gate tomorrow morning and leave off to fuck 😂😂
love the part when tom said dad used to spray this on me when i was a kid only knowing it was meant to be for the cows 😂😂☺😀
HEY I LOVE YOUR ASCENT...I WISH I WAS THERE GIVING YOU A HELPING HAND WHEN THEY START TO LAMB BUT I'M FROM ONTARIO CANADA.
ANYWAY I'M SENDING MY BEST WISHES TO YOU!
4:42 the ones that your grandad left in the barn for the last 50 years
try visiting that retired shepherd for tips and advise, if you know him for long I think he will be glad to help you. Good video though:))
You should go and see the old shepherd for the tips on the sheep if you get time, he will have lots with all the years he had
New subscriber makes me miss helping out at my friends family farm awesome content
Good video Tom 👍👌
Love ur videos. You would probably be better off using purple spray for the sheep. Seems to do a rlly good job with their feet.
Garden sheers, works for. avoid the heavily pregnant ewes. yes stones get in sheep and goats feet. i do the trimming after lambing.
Buttons is the best name!😁
Buy the netex lamb sheep for rot shears they are really good if you look after them
The blue and pink spray is the best for cuts ✊
Tom bad cut mate be carful why dont you train moon as a sheep dog lol keep up the hard work mate 👍
Howdo Tom, big fan of your videos, great insight into everyday farming life and coming from a shepherd from the Lake District it is particularly interesting to see what the crac is in the dairy industry. No idea on best foot trimmers, to be honest I don’t think they differ too much. As for treating lame sheep though we have found that the best way to treat is a dose of alamycin intramuscular and loxicom under the skin, then spraying with Taf spray...this stuff is amazing and seems to work so much better than blue engermycin spray! Leave them for a day then get them into a foot bath of formalin and run them through it a few times, if you are using zinc make sure to hold them in the bath for at least 15 mins otherwise it doesn’t work!!! Also we are being told by vets now to only trim when necessary as it can spread infection about, but obviously if something is hanging off then that’s a different story! Great vid once again, hope lambing goes well!
Peter Harrison Thanks mate! 15 mins sounds like a really long time! I’ll keep it in mind abit the sprays
Hi mate hope your hand is not too badly cut great video though look forward to seeing your baby lambs in a few weeks
Im a young farmer on my brothers i ad but ive a foot knife for lambs its called atko its a good job
I have used the MATABICHERA in the same way quite a lot, too. Hahaha...Lol!
Uses your hoof trimmer you use on cows hoofs it works for anything that has hoofs to trim
We've already started lambing our Dutch texels and beltexs
Tom loved the vlog also enjoyed seeing the sheep
i use nipper for cutting cloven hoops of my sheeps, its easy, elegant and u dont need lot of force
Get a Farm Dog Blue Healer They are a great with cows and sheep for hearding and they do it with out training.
Bad practice flipping them over when heavy in lamb tom,expect some dead lambs
Seems like there were no dead lambs 🤔
If not dead lambs, STUCK MAL-PRESENTATION. Dont handle them last 8 weeks. You wouldn't manhandle a pregnant human. Since I figured that out I've had 1 stuck lamb in the last 6 years. Also a good thing for trimming hoofs is bypass tree and shrub pruners. Only 1 blade, since I started using them I haven't cut my hand or the hoofs to short
I had ring worm on my arm few year ago purple spray fixed it good stuff and great video
You should have hung a bunch of holly in your house.
Jim Dandy 😂😂😂😂
@@TomPembertonFarmLife I was being sarcastic.
Jim Dandy I know... made me laugh 😀
Check Sandi Brock’s TH-cam page, she just did a video on the $85 US pair which did just a few sheep (like 30 I think and didn’t sharpen well) and a $35 US pair that did around 200 sheep, but still didn’t sharpen well.
Blue spray works well for everything
brendon thats old school ways trim infected feet all you do is spread it about the farm and flock... treat the infected animal with antibiotic and come back to her in a few days.. if the infection has cleared up trim .. if not get your antibiotics out again .. also CODD could be present... walk sheep along a road is the easy way of trimming feet
Not a good job flipping ewes over like that so heavily in lamb
Byran Rea I know but he’s used to cows you don’t flip cows
Byran Rea Would you leave her feet or try to improve on my my technique ?
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Best to have the feet in as good a condition as you can pre-tupping so that there's not that many bad feet near lambing. For those you have to treat let the ewe just stand and bend the leg up clip it and spray it. Probably be fine like can but they can throw the lambs if your too rash flipping them over.
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Unlike a few people are saying definitely do the ones with bad feet. No worse sight than a ewe hobbling about with 2 lambs. Hurts their condition and milk production as well.
Tom Pemberton Farm Life when you tip sheep over put head round into side of the sheeps body and pick it upwards its easier for you
Heptivac should be injected into the neck not between the rib and the shoulder!I don’t know if it will still work. Just to let you know for next time
hi tom ... important note do not trim infected feet... treat with antibiotic foot bath regular ,,, trim feet that are healthy your nose will tell you what is infected
Sure if it is foot rot you have to cut the hoof so the air a get to it which kills it. Trim it back or it will just eat the foot away no point in foot bathing them as that's only really a preventative
328th! GOOD MORNING TOM AND THE GINGER GUY WITH A MUSTACHE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😊🎉
I have been watching you for a year
Netex foot parers. Put them through the footbath and let them stand on hard surface for 15-20 minutes
Yep, always wear your waterproofs handling sheep. Another tip: look at absolutely everything, even something that looks completely safe and make sure they cannot hurt themselves on it. Because they will find a way. We've had sheep stuck in feeders and breaking their legs, stuck in the gaps between the bars on a gate, stuck in any sort of fencing, the gap between a water trough and a post. The grass is always greener on the other side!!😂 😂 If you want them to filter into another field overnight or something, leave the gate only very slightly open, they think they are escaping and will be straight through it. It actually works!! Unlike leaving the gate wide open of course, which doesn't work. But then sheep will be sheep! So there's your penny's worth of free advice and I've been there and done that! 😂 😂 😂 GOOD LUCK.
Edmund Williams 🙌🙌🙌
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Cheers Tom. Love your videos. You do a good job of filming and farming at the same time. Don't know how you do it. You'll make a good sheep farmer! 😂 😂
A jab of vitamins goes along way keeps them strong🤙
Very nice. Thanks
Tom in the summer use poor on to keep fly and flees away
I have learnt to separate the the wool before you put the needle in this just stops u missing the skin and getting the wool into the skin and around the needle
hi Tom nice video keep up the good work. cheers
Burgon and ball make some really good foot snips
Definitely don't turn them over in lamb and toe clippers are just as dangerous remember holding a ewe when she moved my boss stabbed me straight in the leg if there was ever a competition for running away from a angry shepherd with a blood soaked leg my boss beat it that day by a mile !!! funny enough my leg got the blue spray treatment
Keep using blue spray on yourself I do. P.s I'm sure you have gathered by other comments not to flip heavy in lamb ewes over. Your farming practices on everything else are Bob on. Milk heard are well looked after and seem to do well. Keep up the good farming.
Russell Miller thanks 😀
Do you have trouble with your GoPro?
*Top tip for tipping ewes over* bring their head back into their shoulder and walk backwards. 👍🏻
When you are giving them hp do it under the skin around the shoulder area.
Tom low-key trying to get a free set of tow clippers🤪😉
Archie Hooper 110%
🙈
What were you giving them in the shor?
Using the same Needles seems to be a risk of spreading something between them.
I noticed that too. Should be using clean needles for each.
Lisa Listeria
That’s for humans
Gtxclanofficial no cause if the sheep have any diesises it will spread if u use the same needle
Have you ever thought about running store lambs on your ground over winter alot of dairy farmers near me do it and they make good money one of my neighbors finished over 3000 store lambs last year
Sam iam would have the acres mate
Love the video Tom and if you use the spray on the animals it's good enough for you😂
well done tom great video how can people dislike it soon be another youtube channel vet tom lol
Tom 30 The people who dislike probably don’t like the blood factor and the fact he sprayed it with Terramycin. I’ve done that before though.
@@MattyMerecat ok
could you use foof trimmers?

Mr Nixon used to say, "Both hands behind the cutting edge".
Although, he was a woodwork teacher and never trimmed sheep's feet.
But still, none of us ever cut our hands.
vinm300 My DT teacher lost the end of his index finger because he looked away from what he was doing whilst using a band saw.
Jesus trimmer a animals hooves isn’t the same as trimming as piece of wood
