Thankyou do much for hjaring all this .
Cheers in usa .
I'm tired just watching it. I hope you & Casey got a well deserved rest afterwards.
Haha probably just went on to the next days work Alex. 😂
@@ewetube.videoswell I hope you got a rest eventually! I know I've chronic fatigue, but even so, that's an awful lot of work! Fair play to ya.
What a lovely simple way of life and so butfull . Hard day's work
Not simple, but I know what you mean. Lovely to watch but tough, tough going.
Simple but not easy 😂
I was thrilled and amazed to watch this! I know you were born to it, but it just blows me away You are so fortunate to be surrounded by such beauty. I love watching the dogs work. I don't know if you could do that without them. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks again Anita! Yes very fortunate. It's good to be able to work too. 👍
Great stuff, homie. Keep up the good work
Thanks Chris
What a beautiful country. I'm excited that I'll be there to visit in a couple of weeks.
Ah lovely! Enjoy your stay Sharon!
@@ewetube.videos I certainly will
They looked wild. They dont get gathered often I'd say.
Great video. Shows the amount of work in hill sheep
Do you think Eamon? I think there's alot more work in lowland sheep across the whole year. You're flat out with hill sheep at certain times but the rest of the time they're doing their own thing, I think anyways.
@@ewetube.videos you're right. Low land sheep always seem to give trouble with maggots too. Much softer overall. I shouldn't wrote "work in gathering hill sheep" 😁. Gathering is the hardest part most of the time !
Great video and beautiful scenery.
Thanks Declan
What a stunning looking place 🤩but hard work!
Definitely Janet, not for the faint of heart 😂
Great video! The most action-packed sheep video I have seen yet! Fun to watch the cat-and-mouse action.
Ah thank you Jack! Glad you liked it!
Wow! What magnificent scenery. 😊👍👍 My back is aching just watching you traversing all the hill and rocky coastline. Your family works hard. ❤️
It really is a beautiful spot Linda
Love the video! Keep them coming :)
Will do Rita. 😁
Earned every penny on this one. Good job. Those tourists better take cover 😉😆
ps. sorry I missed your live. Please give a heads-up on the next one x
Thanks Sandra, I will, this one was just unplanned. 😁
Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍.
I love the scenery but I am glad I don’t have to chase sheep on the mountain and shore.
You don't have to Kathleen, you just have to watch. 😂👍
Absolutely beautiful scenery and great working dogs 🐶🏴☀️
Thanks Dawny. 🔥
Would topping leave a similar amount of wool on to blade shearing? Grand vlog
Best video so far! Casey has made a great dog 🐶
Thank you very much Brian! Aye she's come on well. 😁
🙏💜. Amazing thank you so much.
You're very welcome. 😁
Great video Karl as always that would keep you fit 😃👌
Cheers Gary, it sure would. 😂
Such beautiful scenery!
Love watching the dogs doing their job!
Glad you like it Jane 😁
Carl fair play to you! It’s not easy at all. I know this cause I served my apprenticeship 😂 them sheep are WILD.
They sure are Helen. 😂 Thanks for watching. 🔥
Your auld fella ( Dad ) must have feet like iron to stick the wellies the whole time . Had ye much help that day gathering it looked steep mountain
Ah I suppose it does be wet on the mountain too so you could wear boots and end up in a bog hole fairly quick. 😅
@@ewetube.videos that's what I would think alright. The mountain up here in sligo and over mayo would have plenty of wet spots on them .
Hi, Great stuff Carl. Wonderful video work I think you really captured the essence and the beauty of the island. Fair play and thanks for sharing.
Ah thanks Padraig! Glad you enjoyed it!
That's a great video.
Thanks Ciaran
Hello from New Jersey, USA 🇺🇸 Your channel was recommended by Ifarm Wefarm channel. ☘️🇮🇪
Welcome aboard Dan! 🔥
Good man, Karol. Nice video
Cheers Noel!
Thank God for dogs!
You said it!
Your dogs are amazing. Hello from Canada.
Thanks Dorothy.
Wow great video a great dog is priceless hard too machine 8 million people in ireland
Sure is David!
Mate, I can understand you all right, but I can’t pick up a damn bit of sense when anyone else talks😂❤
Sorry Martha I should probably put in subtitles when others speak
@@ewetube.videos you lovely man! No, you’re working hard every time I look at you, and what you come out with is entertainment enough❤️😎🇦🇺
By Jaysus thats hardship. You would need €10 a head for that work 😢
We deserve to be well paid but there wouldn't be much out of hill farming if they gave us that much Gerry. 😅
@@ewetube.videoscould you not just use cover comb or does it leave more wool on a cover comb ?
@@ewetube.videos oh I know but that's what's wrong with the whole thing, nobody is getting a fair price.
Is that a Fiatagri 45-66 sitting outside the shed at the start?
Hon Belmullet 😝
I chuckled at that one myself 😂
Good god , your man couldn't find a bigger saw to cut the horns
🤣🤣 In fairness it's a good saw for rams horns which are alot bigger. Using it on a ewes horns looks like complete overkill though 😂
You were in God's pocket 💚❤️
The green and red 😂
Some views. Them mayo ewes look harder than stones, are they red man?
Red? They're hardy alright, not the biggest but a good sheep for a bad hill I find. 👍
@@ewetube.videos ya red.. anything wild, we'd say red mad😅
@sheepshepherd we don't say that, but if someone's lazy we call them red useless. 😂😂
Nice looking ram lamb at 2 10 , u might have him home with u
Dad had his eye on that one alright! Well spotted.
What happens if you accidentally round up some of the mystery shepherd's sheep while gathering yours?
Drop them off at the owners or call them and tell them to collect their sheep. 😁
Gee those sheep are flighty. Obviously dont see man or dogs very often. A bit like trying to shift a mob of deer. What breed are the sheep? Cheers from New Zealand.
Mayo blackface little mad bastards
Good man Chris, they're Mayo Blackface sheep. No they don't, they're on the mountain the majority of the time. 👍
Are selling?
Why not cover comb, or blades
Cover comb doesn't leave enough on, blades are 2 slow.
@@ewetube.videos there are a bloody lot of NZ blade boys would argue with that, where you’ve got 2 shearer’s. They would put 6/8 it’s not as if you do anything with the wool
And if you want more on for the winter, shear them earlier
I'm sorry but no ones beating me with a handshears Chris. 😂
@@ewetube.videos it if you’re worried about speed, put 6 blade guys in, against your two, you will be second,
Another time you needed a second dog
Ah dad was there with 2 more. 🙂
No need to go to the gym after this
That's for sure! 😂
