Have you considered testing the ewes on swimming or at least floating/paddling skills?
If that seems excessive, skill in using high heels or stilts? Hopefully these ewes don't see that much rain again in their lifetime, but you might want a predisposition to taller sheep.
Kidding, not kidding. Your sheep are looking great.
Enjoyed
Great video, the sheep are looking good ,you have come a long way you must be very proud and your parents must be proud of you as well .i think i would of been in the river with the dogs😂😂❤
You need to talk to Sandi about drainage tiles for your pasture.
Brilliant video 👍🏻
hi
I watched you last flock check as well as this one - the only thing I also think needs to leave the farm are dirty bums DB - here in NZ 40% of our flocks of sheep NZ wide are drench resistant (worms) and I think those sheep that needed extra drench are not fit to be kept, you could see clearly which ones they were because of their dirty back ends - or you guys will over the next 15-20years will have the same problem - or as Cammi says we will wait to see how NZ fixes the problem so we know what to do when we get their
Hi Tif, I completely agree but we haven’t drenched a ewe here in over 6 years
@@CowleyHillFarm Well done!! - NZ might need to look at the Lleyn to cross over our Romney's to see if that fixes the problem- rams coming from a worm free flock - there are a few getting into the Australian White because of shearing costs and wool prices - lets see what we do going forward - that what I like about farmers having a youtube channel - it brings the community together from around the world - do you watch Kiwi Farmer I think you will enjoy his content
How long after weaning do you give them to put condition on and making the decision to cull or not? I’ve a few weaned last week but I’m hoping they will put condition on after being off the lambs.
If they don't regain condition before next time you put the ram in give them a year off, but only if they have no obvious problems like teeth or bag problems. Giving one of our ewes a year off as she always does her lambs too well. (I'm Georgia from in the video and have my own sheep too!)
@@Georgia_s23 thanks Georgia. Rams don’t go in again til start of October so plenty of time I think to put condition back on hopefully.
Need to get a silicone wedding ring to wear when your working Will, wearing a metal one is dangerous on a farm. Plus you'll won't damage or lose it. 👍
Funnily enough I bought one but was too tight
If ya start whinning and complaining im out of here. There are pluses and minuses to every job.
My Father's job killed him at the young age of 59 he was a plumber. Asbestos to Mesothelioma
Whining about what sorry?
