😂😂😂 I'm looking forward to using the tepari system. It will be here early next year, That has so much information. I write it all down here besides me. Will it be obvious if she has calcium deficiency? I have no experience with puppies really so I appreciate all the help

if she starts panting alot and seems restless or unwilling t lie down and feed her pups is a very common sign of deficiency@@sheepshepherd

Thanks very much. Really appreciate it, Ya they were two Savage rams now tbf. Best we ever had. Where is you're dairy farm

@@sheepshepherd I'm in southwest England.

Do you breed them pure or what ram do you put with them

Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video John. You are spot on in what you are saying, Ya we found them too bare aswell of our crossbreed ewes. But fine off a Hill ewe

Haha.. we are going to the pub now Sunday as its a Bank Holiday I might record him saying a few stories, Jesus 3am.. you need to go to bed. I would love to see where you live. I hope you are having good weather as its terrible here

😂😂 great job the rams love it

Certainly is the way forage . Unbelievable how many grown men spend silly money on bucket blown up rams . Forage rams are shaper & fitter & don’t melt

That's a good system by you. You must have good ground so, as we don't have the grass this time of year so we have to feed them. Where do you buy the rams?

@@sheepshepherd sorry that come over rude written by me 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’ve had them melt as been pushed so much when been told otherwise. I know use innovis rams they honestly come out in same nick as they go in . All rams guaranteed for 12 months & their a very good company to stand by you any slight bother it’s a refund credit off vet proof . I used Aberfield to cross in on me Brecon cheviot to create maternal off spring replacements. I’ve also used their Aberblack on cheviots which create a nice ew lamb bred for meat really or maternal . Think that cross is very popular in Ireland? Like a Suffolk x but New Zealand genetics . They all lamb outdoors around 600 ft . Very few assisted . I’ve bought a Primera this year to put over the me first cross Aberfield x Cheviot. They be purely for the meat market that cross not maternal. Primera is NZ genetics. Their seriously sharp fit rams . On a percentage off the flock I also use their Cheviot rams to cross back on me cheviot ews . Their lambed on higher ground . So me flock consist of about 50/50 in cheviot & then Aberfield first cross over Cheviot. I’ve retained about 30 first cross Aberblack x Cheviot ew lambs this year that be interesting next year . Not going bother lambing the ew lambs in spring this time

@@sheepshepherd I source all my rams from William Hutchision in Kilkenny at the moment ,he only sells hoggets as he doesn’t feed ,all rams are wintered on kale or turnips .He has Sufflock ,Texel,ille de France and Easycare .Never been disappointed with the pick of rams I get and have Sufflock here in their 5th year and never fed or touched a foot or anything

@cormacpower104 Jesus.. that's crazy, I must source some rams off him next year, that's mighty going by him. He must have a good operation going and have great land

Ya it's some disaster in fairness. Not much we can do about it unless we go the easy care route

Message my Instagram page👍

👍👍

Appreciate the comment thanks a lot

Probably should tbf , thanks for that. I'll know next time👍👍

Haha Charlie a serious dog in fairness, Clippers from clipperIreland and a standard set from them is what I'm using. Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video

Ya spot on Andy.. there better alright. But money is the problem, they can be very expensive to buy and lambs are making fuk all atm. Its hard to spend big when no return

Sheep Ireland sale

Ya spot on we always put in subs after awhile 👍👍 safer that way. A dry ewe is no good..needs to earn her keep

It's a eid reader o got from herdwatch, not sure where you can buy them. Maybe message them. Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video

Good to know they both were tipping anyway. It shows up the rams that ain't working

Ya couldn't agree more. Making right fools of us

Cheers Ryan, we some trouble with them. They have one field wrecked. Will u sort them 😂

@@sheepshepherd any time what part off the country are you from if not too far wee could sort some ferreting out for sure 👍🏽

I do. Paper work is at home, don't know off the top of my head

Really appreciate the comment John, plenty information there for me, I need it as I don't know much about pups. You reckon to give Sally some raw eggs and mince so, I'll do just that, What age roughly will puppies start nibbling at stuff. And is a straw bed OK to put them on?

@@sheepshepherd Hi Glyn, thank you for your kindness. I used to use hay, but found it got a bit "tangly" for them. It might be fine but, the best thing is to make a box, or put a board tight across in Sally's bed, in order that she can lie comfortably and all the pups suckling. This is to stop them wriggling away too far from the mother and getting cold in a bigger area. It'll allow Sally to hop out for a wee bit piece as she needs it. In the beginning, I would keep check that all are on a pap and doing about the same as regards growth. Their wee eyes will start opening about 10 days, if I mind right, and you can put the milk in something like an old style biscuit tin, just warm like blood, and put a pup or two standing in it to start lapping. They'll even start licking each other then and you'll be amazed how soon they start lapping up the gruel. Ready Break is excellent to thicken the lambs milk and you can add drops of the mince in . If you give tinned meat instead of raw mince, in the gruel, our Vet tells me Chappie are the best tins so that's what I use. It's very strong so they don't need too much. Sally could have as much of anything as she'll eat, as the pups will put a burden on her body. There's differences in what weight different bitches lose when milking but, so long as she gets addlib with plenty meat she'll be fine. We used to, when we could get it, feed a teaspoon of fishmeal to a dog that was prone to being a poor do-er; I never chanced it on a milking bitch, though, as I didn't know would it make the pups scour. Keep an eye on the pups' cac and, if it's reasonably solid they'll be fine. Folk here, long ago when times were harder, would never leave a full litter at a bitch. It's easy nowadays, though, as there are good complete feeds about. I think yous in the sister country are ahead of us as regards good feeds and reasonable suppliers. I take sheep medicine over from the sister country- Fane Valley. The wee beeta puppy seeds soften lovely in the Ready Break and the lamb's milk and you can mash them it after three-four weeks. just before three weeks , and I continue for as long as the meat lasts, raw mince in their food. When they're moving about and eating with gusto-5/6 weeks- you can do away with the ready brek and give them the softened beta puppy and a little chappie. Plenty clean water for Sally, as well, and for the pups when you reach the beta puppy and chappie stage. Beta puppy is a complete meal , so don't be afraid of it on its own with a little meat and water when they're eating heartily . I give them the lambs milk, if it hasn't run out, right till they leave at ten weeks if they want it. You have to be careful you just make it a tenth of the strength than you would for a lamb. When you make the wee barrier/step in Sally's bed to contain the pups I would use newspaper. It's warm and they won't get smothered/lost in it as they would in hay, or a blanket folding over and trapping them. On newspaper they sometimes get wee callouses from crawling about, but that never bothers them and they won't get smothered. You'll be amazed at how tough and how well they do, and Sally, just as Good created them. I'm no expert but, anything just shout me👍👍

@@johnmartin7597 cheers john.. that's all mighty info. There is abit of work to it. I'll try my best anyway 👍👍 thanks again

@@sheepshepherd no probs, any time 👍. Any questions feel free and I'll try my best👍

​@@johnmartin7597you should write a book on it.😂 your a weave of information 😅

ya they get so much for rent, raods are very handy, brillant for getting the sheep.Thanks a lot, Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video.

Thanks a million,, such a helpful comment, I will do exactly that, appreciate the help. Thanks so much

All good, enjoy they should be. Beautiful and bring a good price for Christmas 🎁. I'm here if you have any questions. Glad I could help ☺️

​@@toviahcrowell6360thanks so much again. Keep the comments coming👍👍👍

Two lovley texel rams they should throw lovley lambs.they will be a cracking cross for your mules next year.brilliant scenery what an office to work from .your dad never stops going he's one of a kind.

Ya they are smashing rams. He never stops. Always on the go.. Appreciate all the comments. Thanks so much

Haha,, not sure, as long as there is a lamb . He can't be as quick as he likes

Thanks so much for this helpful information and taking the time to write it. Really appreciate it.👍👍👍👍👍

I forgot wormimg - at 2 weeks and every 2 weeks after that - check with the vet the currrent recommodation of product used - don't forget to keep their little nails trimmed or they will scratch up Sally and cause mastitis - a human nail clipper will work - just google how and a youtube vlog will come up to show you how - just clip the tips and really need doing each week - once the puppies go onto puppy food mum will no longer clean up after them so it's newspaper that needs cleaning up twice a day - Are u keeping a pup to train on? Or are you waiting for a future litter - normally 3-4 litters then spayed @@sheepshepherd

@@user-ni8fm1mq3k appreciate it. Thanks so much

Hi..I doubt they will be send to the US, it would be too expensive 🙈 could cost a few thousand. Probably sell them to local farmers tbh,

👍👍👍

Ya a lot of people have gone tolhe easy care route, how do the lambs be to sell? Always looking at easier options. No money in sheep anymore I'm afraid, where are you from. Shearing sheep is no easy job, fair play to u

Yes these are Sally's first litter.. any tips

Great name. Will consider it. Happy Christmas to u

Herdwatch I got it off... Glad you like the video and appreciate the comment

Good man thanks for replying. Keep up the good work with the videos

@@stephengoodwin467 👍👍

Not a bit,, standstill with weeks, a bad year for sheep in general, they don't mind the cold it's the wet they can't stand. How are you for grass

Not a farmer ...used to work in dairy sector. ..land here in midlands wet but still bit of grass around @@sheepshepherd

@tomgreene1843 fair play tom. It's hard to grow grass down here the best of times. We are very high up

Waste of time... too much work in it. If it was handy to do everyone would be at it. Wool is worthless now

Off a great dog by my neighbour

Bark

Hi Gerry appreciate the comment. We run roughly 720 acres and then 120 acres of forestry, enough to keep us on our feet.😂 charlie is a labrador, he's a mighty dog

​@@gerryoconnor8751😂

Sally is registered and has papers. Off a super trial dog the father is our neighbour collie also registered

@@sheepshepherd who is the super trial dog? Just trying to sort out the lineage

@@kitzemccormick1056 I'll have to check the paper work when I'm back at the farm tomorrow..not there atm👍

Safety training at 74, are you having a laugh😂 Be more chance of the pope calling to us

Not sure yet, Good breeding in them so must think about it. What are they going for?

​@@sheepshepherd an 8 week old sheepdog pup could sell for 700 euro i looked it up there

@@jasonodonovan8262 I like the sounds of that 😅 make more than lambs anyway the way things are going

😂 I'll be doing test before the spring time. I love it🙈

Great names

Bad hip,can't lift his leg over

@@sheepshepherd oook

Haha John.. we have been doing it all ourlives, it gets us by. But plenty of mistakes with it 😅😅

Cheers Anna, appreciate the comment. Ya we'll try our best, The father is a mighty help. Be lost without him

Sound👍

@AnnaOSullivan-yy5ft 👍👍

😂 charlie a mighty fog. Maybe I should breed off him😂😂

Fck it.. the wool is all gone now I'm afraid 🙈 Appreciate the comment, what about news papers on a carpet.. then change the paper every day?

Yeah the newspaper on carpet should work. and you don't need to change it everyday in the beginning Saly will keep them very clean. maybe every other or every 3rd day. Dam you had all that wool. @@sheepshepherd

​@@toviahcrowell6360I know😅 appreciate the comments 👍👍👍
