Congratulations on your recent nuptials. Dorpers are originally from South Africa.The originally breeds used to create them were the Dorset Horn and the Blackhead Persian (hence the name Dorper an amalgamation of the 2 foundation breeds names). The breeding program that created them was started by the South African Department of Agriculture with the help of a small number of private breeders in the 50s. Hope that helps if people are interested. We run Dorpers ourselves here Down Under. They can really pack the pounds on in a short time frame which can have the lambs ready for weaning and sale faster. Its not unusual for the the lambs to be ready to go by the age of 3 months old. And the Maternal instinct of the females and their milk processing abilities put them way ahead of a large number of other meat breeds. They can be bred out of season (Polyoestrus) so 3 lambings in 2 years is not unheard of,. They also have a Higher Worm Resistant and are also Non Selective grazers and feed converters (Poor grazing into meat).And they have the added bonus of being self shedding, so no shearing required.
Congratulations on your marriage and also upon reaching 10K subscribers! I correction for your video. At 9:09 you mentioned the polled Dorset have lambs 3 times a year. I think you intended to say 3 lamb crops in 2 years. Gestation is nearly 5 months. Great video and again, congratulations!!
Congratulations on your channel milestone! 🎉 In the USA we call the males rams. I first heard the term "tup" from Cammy Wilson, so you know I was a bit confused. I figured it out. Great overview of British sheep breeds!The number and variety of upland sheep at Yorkshire is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
I have never been queasy watching a video, all the spinning around really got me. I know you were trying to get through them quickly. I would rather have a longer video where you could share more of your knowledge and focus a bit more on more breeds. I love learning from farmers like you who have such a vast knowledge of what you farm. Thanks for spending the time to do a video on this show!!
@@CowleyHillFarm oh I completely understand. I know it has to be hard. I do love your videos and all you share with us. Keep it up! Let’s get you to 20k!!
@@CowleyHillFarm Not sure if it would have been better but maybe more time with the camera reversed pausing on a pen before moving on. With camera angles a few breeds were missed. Was it a good night had prior? You pretty much had the patter, just not the camera work you normally have. It’s not easy to do in that environment with people about and needing to get on, so appreciate the effort 👍
Thanks for the sheep breed lecture! I especially liked the part about wool production versus meat production. Are there breeds used specifically for milk to make cheese?
No Romney's, did I miss them ? Congratulations. One of my favorite channel. I started watching Sheepishly Me during the pandemic and found your channel a couple years ago. You do a great job. Again Congratulations.
I am the same Started watching Sandi and Mark Brock back in 2021 Now I’ve got loads of farming channels in my favourites list I bet many of these sheep would taste amazing Lamb shank with fresh veg and mint sauce I’m a carnivore 🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍 👍
Did you see Cammy Wilson from Scotland Not sure what day he went He had a trailer with his merch on I bet there are many 10’s of breed of sheep Oh dear I’ve underestimated Do the Border face Leicester have better hearing than any other sheep because of their large long ears?? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Will your Video was good. But you rushed this Video of the different breeds Sadly. You forgot the Two Sheep breeds that were most influenced in the Sheep World . And they are Romney & Southdown tho . A 1 hour Video would have been better . Kiwi Shayne in the UK .
One Wedding Photo Please of the Beautiful Bride and groom.
Fascinating. I especially like hearing about the wool breeds and properties! I spin yarn. ❤️ Thank you!
I noticed you have a new ring on. Congratulations to you and your Mrs. ❤
Thank you very much.I didn't know there was that many sheep breeds.
Good luck at the show

Really great video, I didn't realise just how many breeds there were❤

Muchas gracias por tu video 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Great video
My folks raise breeding Dorpers in the US. They originate from South Africa.

🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍 👍
Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers!
Excellent video Will, and congratulations on the 10k subscribers. What took them so long? 😂
Great video, some interesting breeds. Must say blue texels are not limited to smaller sizes, all my crossed lambs last year were 22kg+
Apologies I was trying to generalise breeds a bit to show the differences
@CowleyHillFarm Thanks for your reply, love your content. Maybe you'll trial a Blue Texel on the Lleyns in the future 😀
Did you see Cammy Wilson from Scotland
Not sure what day he went
He had a trailer with his merch on
I bet there are many 10’s of breed of sheep
Oh dear I’ve underestimated
Do the Border face Leicester have better hearing than any other sheep because of their large long ears??
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Will….if you had to choose another breed to keep instead of Lleyn or Borders what would it be? And what breed do you think is on the up/comeback?
Did you see Cammie?
We are right by him with our sheep👍
Will tooooo fast so that there was just a brief view.
Sorry this is a not farmer comment😁But I really think the Texels are the ugliest breed of sheep I’ve ever seen😂😂
