Excellent video again thanks for sharing lambs are looking great 👍 take care

Another cracking video Joanna @ Nick the ewes and lambs are looking great 👍👍👍

Thank you for another wonderful video. The noise must have been deafening with all the lambs in the barn. lol Beautiful lambs.

Fantastic work guys 😀👌👍⭐️

Hey guys ,some fantastic lambs there, ya this Yr is turning out as bad as last..what can we do only stay at it😊

The lambs are looking really well credit to both of your very good husbandry thanks to you taking on board everything your dad taught you. Keep up the good work. Take care xx

Pleased that things are going in the right direction for you, keep at it.

Some good looking lambs. Has been a bit of fly strike about. I think due to the wet weather. Does the lead in that field make it unusable now? Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

Dagging out round me…👍

Great healthy lambs , the new foot bath is going to be a good help getting the feet treated 🐑 still hard work though!!

Super well done to both of you. A big leap forward from your last update. Thank you for keeping us informed, I am sure I am not the only one that your content helps in many ways................🐏🙏👍

fair play to you for dagging all those ewes ............a lot of work of sheep , esp with a missive crop of lambs that you have ........next year you might consider selling some of the ewes that are scanned with 3 shortly after scanning ......all those triplets are more work than they are worth in my humble opinion ................this last year has tested both man and beast .......... ..... keep on going ,you are doing a very good job with your farm ........every body I know that are farming have said to me how hard the last year has been on them with the weather not playing ball as well as everything else ........ so you are not alone in feeling down sometimes ......and yes you are plenty tough to farm ...! running a camp site and a farm together is not easy ,not many would be up to the task .......!

Hello Joanna and Nick, You guys are hard at work as always. What will you do with the field where the mines were ? My God it's always something isn't it. 😮 Thanks for Sharing your story. 😊

Joanna, truly, you are doing a top job with your livestock care and management. As you said there is the odd one with a limp or a dirty behind etc but IMHO with the steps you are taking you will certainly soon have those problems well and truly under control. Overall (and I mean this) the flock look so very good and are a credit to you, never doubt that. The financial outlays sure are a never-ending constant in farming eh. In my 48 years in the game with the usual crap prices offered for livestock and produce you often feel like you're just turning money over, year in and year out, with precious little at the end of the day for yourself. As always Joanna I read the description and honestly, how you are feeling exactly mirrors how I've been all my farming life. Like you I know all too well, the anxiety, apprehension and melancholy that running a farm can bring on. Also at times I've had to contend with downright nasty unwanted advice and comments from certain pig ignorant, insufferable PITA people who don't even run a farming operation, although not on the scale you've had to deal with. Sadly there is no magic bullet fix for the above mentioned dilemmas. I know it's different for everyone but FWIW the things that have helped me deal with many bad times and bad days are at the end of the day thinking about happy memories of the past (Dad) and the true positives in my life like the love and unwavering support of Lea-ann my "significant other" of more than 33 years also my 2 now adult children. I'm also blessed to have some close and trusted friends. I often think of them all at the end of the bad days and it does help me to cope. I know it's not the same for everyone but that's what's helped me for my 63 years on the planet. Top footage Joanna. You are dealing with every challenge at Dale Farm as capably as anyone anywhere could. Take care.

I care for your Mental Health Joanna & I missed the Dale Farm Catch-ups & I suffer from Complex-PTSD in a very profound way & M.E so I live in very dark places. Farming is very complex & draining and I feel you are very articulate & winning in your positive & meticulous method of farming. It's nice when I remembered the Vaccines & the Foot Bathing from the last Lambing Season & 34KG Whoppers the Lambs look very healthy. Looking after the Ewes Tails & Yes going to lend you soothing Ambient Shoegazing Folk Music all that noise from the Ewes & Lambs. Good that you know that fields were on Lead Mines hence explaining avoiding those fields Keep Going Joanna I'm on your side & Nick xx

They make noise canceling headphones for motorcycle riders that have a built in intercome/walkie talkie system. I bet something like that would help with the noise issues.

Hi jo despite the problems you have faced this spring the lambs are looking really good and testament to your never ending hard work. Hay just around the corner hope weather stays good for you.

Joanna, you and Nick are amazing! I am sure farming is not very easy but I am envious of what you are doing.

Thank you Joanna and Nick, this wet weather is hard to deal with, so much water everywhere, well done you for your perseverence and caring.

Well it's the 9th of June here in the States and it's 91° and we're roasting I am curious as to how many heads of sheep you have exactly it seems like an awful lot of work and I know it does to you too but I must say the pastures in the lanes look gorgeous don't forget to take a break and get some rest cheers 👌💥😉🐝

Magnificent video, as always Joanna!! It is clear that it has been a very hard year, but as always you have known how to manage adversity very well and get the lambs forward, which look very healthy!! Beautiful landscapes in spring and deafening sound of the lambs!! 💚👌🏼♥️

Given how the weather have been a rough battle for a long time now, I think your sheep and lambs look very good, and they are in good hands.

I think your flock are so lucky to have both nick and you looking after them!! Whilst it must feel you’re going from one issue to the next you’re doing everything in Your power to ensure they remain fit and healthy whilst enjoying life-surely that’s what it should be about. Sadly watching another sheep farmer the same can’t be said about them and their poor attitude of “oh well we did that wrong” and never learn from issues. I love your videos-keep them coming as time allows!! 😊

Wonderful video, Joanna. Its such hard work you do daily yet so effortlessly. Your flock is looking fantastic. Great idea for the footbath. Your poor ears 🥰 and dont they look lovely with nice clean bottoms n tails 💜

Cleaning up the ewe’s backsides is called crutching in Australia and New Zealand. Thanks for the video. In the background the camp looked quite busy 👍

It looks like a daunting task to care for all of those animals. You handle it beautifully! Great job as always!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇬🇧

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad things are going a bit better. Good on you for doing the right things to help them. You must be exhausted, but hopefully they'll do well because of it.

Hi Joanna. Your openness about about the problems you face and how they affect you is a touchstone for others. Post when it suits you. Kind thoughts and many smiles from down south. 🌻🌻🌻

Oh my gosh! I don't think the consistent wet weather and iron field were certainly no help. The result of all your proactive actions have turned these adversaries around. The lambs and ewes look so much better. You both are doing a great job. Take good care.

👀🙄🐾👍

hi Jo, that was another excellent video, and the lambs look superb you've got some beauties there considering how young they are. Nick's footbath is a stroke of genius, is he a sheep chiropodist by any chance? Anyway thank you for the update and best wishes from EA.

Ahh it’s all good fun with sheep 😅🤦‍♂. Glad it was confirmed to be lead poisoning, at least you know now for future. Been bloody cold here today, even slung a thermal on!🤦‍♂

Great video again and lambs are looking great after all the wet weather.

Lambs look great Joanna

Hiya... Sorry to change the subject! But can you post some more photos... Like I've mentioned before you really take fantastic photos... Wish you all the best.. Take care... 👍❤️

Great video Joanna & Nick 🥰.. The lead field! Will you be able to use it ?🤔xx

another lovely video lambs are looking well and the weather as been a lot better too keep up the good work

I know how you feel treating the whole flock for multiple things PLUS having to filter out lambs from ewes while they are all calling each other, it’s very heavy going !!

It’s been a very tough year for you two, loving Nicks innovation on the footpath, maybe needs to take out a patent lol. The noise of the lambs and ewes is pretty deafening. In the shooting world you can get electronic ear defenders that you can adjust the sensitivity to take out the crack of firearms going off but can still pick up normal conversations and price wise they are not too crazy if they could be adjusted to the required level. Also as a polite suggestion you could consider renting out parts of the farm as a film location as it is so varied and picturesque. It would be great as a period drama. Nick would make a great Darcy lol.

No need to feel disheartened at all, your doing extremely well with the lambs, it can be like that, one day your pleased with them next day not, well that’s what I’m like anyway. Lambs seem to be lacking little bit of milk as are my own which is very frustrating albeit that last batch in the video had much fuller bums, great feeling seeing them like that!. Curious as to how your bought in replacements faired against your own ewes, better lambs etc? All young lambs need a dose at usual intervals regardless what they preach these days, I was doing samples and (yeah they need a dose) was the reply every time so would save on the samples until it’s evident that there could be an issue like you just had, it won’t take a genius to spot it. I was on a strategy of not dosing if no dirty bums, big mistake and cost me a nice crop of lambs. Dose now at 7 or 8 weeks and then 6 weeks as they are grazing well by then. I do a sample after that if I’m not content with them. If you don’t mind me saying I think dad would be pretty chuffed with his girl.

Bizzy bizzy youv got plent ther lol ok nice vid youz 2 be safe

Hi Jo A very productive few days for you both but seems you have come out the other end satisfied with what you have done. I went to my grandsons 6th birthday party the other day and yes it was also very noisy ha ha. Like ya foot bath Nick Well thought of. Have a good week and hopefully a bit easier one for you Love Kim xx

Hi Joanna and Nick. You are hardworking and credit to you and Nick. It is hard work, its constant isnt it. Will it be easier for you once the Lambs have gone to market? They look a healthy bunch of Lambs and moms. Your dad would be really proud of you both for everythinf you do to keep the farm and the campsite going. Maybe you and Nick can have a bit more You time. Have you both swam in a river this year? We hope you can feel better soon joanna. We care about you for all the hard work you do. Take care. Love from our family here.❤❤😊😊

Great job - the right time to wean lambs is at 12 to 14 weeks A ewe peak production of milk is at 3 - 6 weeks after lambing. The only reason you would wean early is no grass or lambs not thriving ie. "Bad management" Considering the weather we've had the sheep and lambs are looking very good .

Always look forward to your vidios .glad you got the poisoning sorted out . You both have had your challenges and are coming through them . Keep on keeping on . They all look good . Take care .🌼🌱🌸😵‍💫🌹🌷🌻😊🥀🏵️💮🌹🌷

Great video, thank you!

Great lambs well done guys

your way behind on vlogs its the 9th of june hope all is ok now hugsss

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, awesome stuff

Great job done, would I be right in thinking that you have a lot more lambs this year Jo.??

Joanna we have a saying in Newfoundland "there are no flies on you" it means somebody who can do anything ! Pardon the pun !

Great video. When did you start lambing?

You think that's loud Johanna you should try feeding pigs! once they hear the feed coming the screaming and squealing starts! you both are doing a great job, it's bloody hard work and the losses are hard to take, sometimes you wonder why you do it? It's just in the blood I think, if you were sane you wouldn't do it!

When you make the weaning video make sure to get the reactions of the ewes and the lambs

this y6ear really sucked for you hope the next round will be better hugssssss

Sheep seem so much more work than cows. Can that field with the lead mine under it be put to any other use or is it out of bounds now? As someone who's looking into getting into farming in either Derbyshire or Yorkshire after doing it for years in Africa, this contaminated grass thing worries me a bit.

Should have ear protection on Another good video 👍

What was the problem with the lambs that died

oops, hit srnd...or ear plugs.😊

.: )🍕🍕

Give us a good reason for not weaning an getting them on creep whats your excuse for not weaning right now at that moment because they are big enough to wean

Everything has been against you this year , weather has been awfull and depressing , it’s been a long cold spring and wet but hope thing go better from now on , it’s all this global warming , rubbish , anything to tax you more

10:39 Next time yu foot bath make sure you get you a stick to knock them off of climbing on other lambs back because they aren’t standing in the foot bath

Also once lambs cut teeth they should be weaned because they will be biting ewes nipples an destroy the utters then you cull the ewe because of your negligence

IDK WHY SOFT FARMERS WONT WEAN LAMBS WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE 80-100lbs STILL ON MOMS TEET IS RIDICULOUS Because you can wean at 6 weeks they wean dogs at 6 weeks dogs are way smaller than sheep at 6 weeks there’s no excuse to wean

That shed is in bad need of a clear out a lot of space being lost to fire wood and possible rubbish

you might want to invest in some ear protection 😊 ear phones or ea

An as we see there is not 1 lamb weaned which is pathetic thats what happens when you got soft farmers

Excellent video again thanks for sharing lambs are looking great 👍take care
