Lambs are sick and dying - an investigation

It’s been a bit of a rubbish thing to happen…
THE WORK IS STACKING UP!
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 14 dny
Field work to do, cattle to get organised - the work never ends and so I’m relieved the final lambs are arriving as lambing has taken up so much time and energy and attention the last 6 weeks. Feeling tired it’s been a demanding time and we don’t seem to be able to get on top Of the workload!
HANDS ON! Adoption, moving and MAY lambing!

The first move is always chaotic - but the ewes need to move to the fresh grass - it’s a noisy afair! Lambing remains hands on - start it’s to feel tired but the end is in sight … in this video … late night triplets born, trying another adoption and lambing scenes from up in the fields … thanks for watching !
LAMBING TIME JOY - A BETTER WEEK!
zhlédnutí 6KPřed měsícem
Cold weather - frosty mornings but much improved conditions as we approach the final stretch of lambing 2024! There’s sunrises , lambs playing and some good moments to enjoy- a great reward for a farmer is seeing the lambs playing in the sunshine! Hope you enjoy this weeks round up of what’s been happening this lambing time at Dale Farm!
OH MY QUAD!!
zhlédnutí 6KPřed měsícem
It’s been a bumper year for triplet lambs and now the quads are born! The weather has improved ( it’s now sometimes nice as well as sometimes cold , windy, raining !) I am sharing some really GOOD moments in this video so thank you for sticking with me after a few weeks here it’s felt quite challenging with one thing or another - so it’s wonderful when some good moments happen!! Thanks for watc...
IT GOT SCARY : EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

The first time l have done this! Bringing the lambs BACK INSIDE to keep them housed during another bad storm at lambing time! It’s been a wild ride at lambing time so far Thankyou for watching 😁
NOT AGAIN! DOG ATTACKING PREGNANT EWES
zhlédnutí 79KPřed měsícem
I can’t believe this! only a few days after the last incident where a dog got loose in with our pregnant ewes, it happened again. This time it was in the twins and if we hadn’t been there to intervene I fear it could have been so much worse. I apologise for swearing at one point I hope you forgive me I was very stressed! This video covers last Saturday / Sunday in our lambing season. I’m puttin...

Wind and rain , but can’t complain … we have some wonderful lambs! STORM KATHLEEN blows in, walls come down and Phantom has her twins ! A backwards lamb, an adoption and all the action from Dale Farm at lambing time - thanks for watching !
IT HAS STARTED!! LAMBING 2024
zhlédnutí 8KPřed měsícem
I guess I was hopeful for better weather as it feels like we have endured enough miserable rain and mud …. But no … it continues indefinitely! But there are some positives and some good lambs as well as challenging conditions. Thank you for sharing in the journey with me - all the highs and lows ❤️ Joanna
GLIMMERS OF HOPE
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 měsíci
It’s feeling quite the struggle ! It’s been a long winter …. I think this is maybe a bit of a boring update but I will let you decide - it’s a weekly catch up with what’s been going on , plus my thoughts and feelings in the countdown to lambing! The weather has been mostly grim and disappointing as the long range forecast had promised us that high pressure was coming but we ended up with heavy ...
HOPING IT’S THE END OF WINTER?!
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 měsíci
Meteorological spring arrives on the 20th March - and I am HOPEFUL for conditions to improve as we have been having wet weather as the dominant force since end of June 2023 …. This week I’m excited as we repurpose an old gate which will make my life easier!
IT CAN’T STOP RAINING! (Muddy fields, sheep health and trying to a dry spot for the highland cattle)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 měsíci
A week of farm life at Dale farm, It is mostly raining but the first visible sunrise for ten days was a beautiful and most welcome sight !! We are moving the cows ring feeders because the area has become flooded, and the sheep need their vaccines and a foot bath before lambing!
THE HARDER THE BETTER. Winter post knocking weather !

Highland cows are amazing!!! A sunny day at Dale Farm in spring is very cool... They are beautiful lands! As always, congratulations on the video Joanna!!👌🏼💚💚
Thank you Daniel
It is clear that in agriculture and livestock, pests and diseases are a great challenge... sometimes very difficult to face!! You always do the most!! An example Joanna!!💪👌🏼🙌
A great video where you can see that with the effort sheep and lambs have been saved!! Terrible weather in April 💪💚
Congratulations Joanna for your beautiful video and the effort you put into Dale Farm!! In spring those landscapes are beautiful and lambing must be a very nice experience 💚🙌👌🏼
Great news on TB all clear,always stressful on waiting to see how it goes. Cows look real well despite the wet winter,you’re both doing a good job
Thank you, definitely not been an easier winter x
Glad it all went well for you. Always a worrying time. All the best 🇬🇧.
Thank you!
With the huge changes in the past couple of years, not to mention the work load, I'd wondered if I was going to be tuning in to an episode where Nick had either given up and left, or had proposed. Glad to see it was the latter. All the best. Couldn't be happier.
🤣🤣
Thank you x
Hey Tough times dont last but tough people do. U will get this sorted dont reproach yourself.
Thank you that’s a really kind comment
Is that another cost for the farmer..? Annual TB testing
No it’s not the responsibility of the farmer , the government pays for the testing ( so the tax payer ) pays for it !
Congratulations on your clear test 👍, Any more info on your lambs that had gone off their legs ?
I’ll do an update video , I haven’t had the laboratory test results yet !!
All clear what a relief 🎉 and a great video again 😊
Thank you andy and thanks for your help
You’re welcome 😊
Rain ☔️ or shine 😅
Hi Jo Congratulations with the cows Must be a great relief Look forward to seeing the new calves Love Kim xx
Thank you kim, hope you are well! A busy week for us with the campsite for bank holiday and half term !
Pleased to see that you got the all-clear. The lamɓs are looking well. Take care xx
Thank you so much
Hi Glad that you are spending more time with the highlands. I looked after a highland herd which I got to be quite tame. I used a battery clipper to shave along their spines in spring , in the field and they stood very content and happy to be clipped. also applied medication at the same time . I found it really rewarding. good luck!
Good Day having a clear test.👍🥳
Thank you xx
That's good your having a better week,lots of rain here too but it's getting warmer so hopefully growth will take off.
Yeah lots of rain here but not cold !
That is great news Joanna the Highland is looking great 👍👍👍
Thank you sandy x
Great relief to ye all. Love the videos.
Thank you xx
Hi Jo and Nick, great news all clear for TB... The black bull is a ripper... renting or did you buy him ?
Hey what’s the go with the young heifers, they all look about the same age but some have horns and some don’t. Have been bred like that with poll genetics. Thanks for the video

Thank you Alastair x
Love your videos ❤️
Thank you xx
Congratulations on getting that done, and the relief that comes with TB testing. I really like how you and Nick are working very well together, and the thinking process that both of you take before undergoing something like moving cows or bulls. Nick is becoming quite the cowboy. 😊
Thank you Keith xxx
Always 👍 with a clear test.
Yeah a relief thank you
Nice one Joanna. Pleased for you. 😊
Thank you xx
Great to see that Lambing is complete & the TB Testing is pleasing news & that the Highlands walking down the lane loving the Cow Parsley have been made comfortable with human interaction & Frances the Bull doing his bit for the soon to be Calf population !!! Your imaging is excellent could be Oil Paintings Best Wishes Joanna & Nick David xx
I love Highland cows! I’m so glad the tests came back all clear! Lots of rain, but that oh so beautiful green growth just melts my heart.
Thank you! Yes it’s very green
It's interesting here in the US tb testing is every 5 years and the vet I worked for would test on the side of the tail head. We also only tested dairy cattle.
That is definitely interesting and definitely to how we have to do things here
TB The biggest Scam known to Man 😠 😡
If does seem like a bit of a crazy process and why no vaccine
Some good news there and the weather easing off. I am sure you two could just do with a nice fortnight holiday Joanna, but chance would be a fine thing. At least get yourselves a little chill time if possible.
Thank you, we hope to get a few days at the end of June 😀 it’s definitely needed. This week it’s bank holiday / half term madness on the campsite !! Never much time for a rest here !
Another picturesque vlog,are the hawthorn what we call white thorn.the Highlands look in very nice condition.
Thank you so much xxx white thorn is a good name, we also have a pink hawthorn which I love but not any of it on the farm. When the white blossom falls off the trees it’s like snow
Some wonderful red Hawthorn in the villages around where you are Joanne
Yes there’s some around, just not on sale farm
Excellent and the view down the lane was worthy of any French Impressionist painting. How lovely. Cheers
Thank you for appreciating xx
Joanna, what part of the question did u not understand?
RUDE!! If you read her replies to people, you would know the answer to your question!
I don’t know what you mean Brian
Outstanding results and the views were wonderful. Bless you both.❤😊
Thank you Amy xx
