Let the boys and girls have fun.

Good work. Chin up, have tea and sit with your beloved and the fire. ❤

Summer is busy but everything is harder to do in the winter - you are normally wet and cold to the bone being outside and if it has rained with no sun covered in mud - farmers work all summer to get ready for winter

Hi Joanna. Good on you for saying publicly when you feel like crap because of SAD. There will be someone watching this who will be inspired to discuss the problem instead of keeping it to themselves. Do you have lights for SAD, and if so, are they helpful? Also, I wonder if there is a sheep farmer somewhere called, Mr Tupping! Sending kind thoughts and good vibes from down south.

Hi Joanna excellent video again thanks. Don't worry it's not just you getting a bit down i think most of the country is fed up with the awful weather. Try to keep positive sing Christmas 🎄 songs 🎵 with Nick anything to make you laugh. I think everyone would benefit from a bit of sunshine 🌞. Thanks again take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

Joanna. Saying things like that about our Nick. Ha Ha. Keeps a good woman to keep her man Happy 👍👍👍Great video as normal Summer just around the corner. God Bless ❤❤❤❤

If I were carrying those around, I would be lame too!! :-)

Well done vlad keep up the good work 🐑

Hi guys, That winter weather can surely be depressing, that is for sure. I'm older now but I'm still kinda excited when I'm around purty Gals too. 😅 THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING 😊

I care Joanna for the Mental Health toll on farmers & yes Sunset is at 03:48 p.m so I agree that this time of year is melancholy. Excellent seeing the Rams & yes he's definitely erm Up for it !!! Best wishes to you & Nick & its great seeing the resilient endeavour you keep showing in farming & It's so interesting learning about the Raddle method & I understand it. Brighter Days ahead x

Putting numbers with spray on all sheep makes it child’s play working out who needs treatment in the yard. Keep the videos coming !

Joanna, I think all sheep farmers are having the same problem with sheep feet due to all the soaking wet fields, so you are not alone. Take care xx

Keep smiling, spring not that far away, and you are both doing so well.

Hi Joanna, Tupping time has soon come around again, time seems to go so fast. Vlad has that serious look on his face again. I had to laugh with the green paint on him, it reminded me of the Grinch 🤣 This time of year gets a lot of people down with it's short daylight hours and wet weather. Spring will soon be here before we know it...🙂👍🏻

I noticed you raddled Nick, too. You need to keep an eye on him, now! 🤣

Something I have found that helps me during the gloomy days of winter is quilting. Something about putting the colorful patches together into something useful can really make a gloomy old day much brighter. You should try it!

Weather is getting to everyone, no worries!

Tough time of year for lots of people. Daylight bulbs can be a real help with S A D.

The sheep look good with the loving care you and Nick take with them. The day after rain and grey skies can certainly drain a person. The good news is Winter Solstice is just around the corner. So you can dance with light from a fire or even a candle, if its too cold, and visualize the sun in its glory for lighter days. In Shetland they have a night that they have a huge parade through Lerwick with lighted torches (the real thing) and set a premade Viking Ship on fire. (Helley Up). Of course, at Christmas it is candles and lights everywhere. Wishing you and NIck the sweetest Holiday Season and the magic that comes with a fabulous/profitable/healthy New Year!.

Great video Joanna aye sometimes you have good days a bad days but am sure the good days out weigh the bad days 👍👌

Great video again. ( The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune. ).

I understand that feeling of dark nights .hate it but nearly there now and all should be good soon

Jo the rain must be driving you mad, it has been unrelenting over here in the East, and I think everyone is fed up with it. You seem to be accepting things as they are so keep your chin up, and best wishes to you both from EA.

Yourself and nick make a great team

Great video👍 and love the sheep videos especially lambing and tupping etc.🐑

Better, brighter days ahead for sure! Holidays and new year! Blessings be yours always. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇬🇧

the weather since early july this year has gotten every body down .........you are not alone ...... a good scanner should be able to mark the later sheep when they are scanned ............my man puts a......L....... on them and it works good enough for me .........i have lame sheep also .......long acting penacillian works ok for me ......

The weather is terrible atm,it’s rained for about 2 months now,I’m thinking about building an ark? Keep up the good work,I enjoy your videos

yes the weather as been pants cold wet roads flooded but the sheep are looking well take care

The sheep are looking well with you nice to see that the snow has cleared x

I feel your pain Jo, I Hate this time of year, the darkness, hideous weather and just makes me want to cry, I get angry and no idea why other than probably SAD too, I’m like it every single year yet reach clock change time and I’m fine 🤷‍♀️

Just a few more days and at least the days will start to get longer again 🌞

Its that god awful time of year again. Look forward to spring and those first snowdrops. I take a vit d tablet during the winter months. I suppose it does some good. If all else fails try gin!

THANK YOU JOANNA FOR THE VIDEO , PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WELL, XXX .🐑🐏

Hey yall good to see ya again and enjoyed the video and just keep looking ahead and keep smiling cause yall gonna get threw it. Take care stay warm and dry and God bless yall c ya on the next video 👍😁🌞🙏

This is why we should all eat local, you both are a perfect example of why we produce the best standards of care and animal husbandry in the World. You care for them you provide licks and quality feed for them to the best of your ability through rain and shine and especially the dark rank weather, true professional’s. It’s not easy. May I be so bold to suggest a little time off, perhaps a little date night kind of thing a meal, a walk around the shops local whist drive darts night etc. just to get out of that environment for a few hours would be good for both of you.

15 days ,then 'raddel'👍

Another great video you @ Nick are doing a great job 👏 with the sheep 🐑👍👍👍

Great job done ok chin up be safe

Thank you for sharing. This video was cool to watch. :)

That’s the trouble with bringing in new stock. I kept a closed flock and managed to get on top of the problem with footbathing at every yarding regardless, but fair to say I didn’t have to contend with CODD. Youthful Nick, give her a slap from me! I think you were trying to say that the scanning will find out the barrens. I used to make a figure of 8 bandage around the treated feet which stayed on just long enough to keep the medication in contact with the affected area thus making it more effective.

Anything we can do to help you keep your chin up?! I know what you mean about seasonal blues, though the nights only have a few more days of drawing in. Sounds like Vlad is still ‘delivering’. I believed the test to be how many the other ram tupped after he’d been at them, and answer is ‘not many’. I’m sure I know another shepherd who only uses raddle on the second round. I guess you have a record of which ewes are in which tupping group. Don’t let Chase hear you say there’s more than one way to skin a cat!

I think pre scanning, raddling first cycle made more sense as you could spot the ones repeatedly coming back to the tup and likely to be barren rather than cycling later in the year. Bit different for pedigrees or those with numbers that splitting the first week might help. Everyone else is doing out of tradition really unless they aren’t scanning.

Just found your channel, +100 points for the Eagles and Phillies hats!!!

Hi Joanna there's a thing called blue stone you get it in bags it's like crystals spread it on a path where the sheep are walking regular and you'll soon be free of limping

Joanna sweetheart I hear you about the SAD I absolutely hate hate hate the effects but love winter? What's that all about?! I'm sure I need to get out more and you have inspired me so much over the last few months of binge watching you crying with you about your dad (i lost my dad this year) to the point that I stopped watching you in fear I was gonna catch the crys 😢 But I'm back as I realised its good.. its. A good thing to let it out... bloody let them all out!!! I just want to thank you for being so so honest. I'm taking up cold water dipping this week after watching you.. I NEED TO HAVE SOME ENDORPHINS ❤❤❤ Edit to add I actually commented to say get yourself some vitamin D supplements and take them as soon as the days become shorter.. honestly they help so so much! I'm thinking of getting a SAD lamp this year because I'm 100% moody ❤❤

Ahh good old British winter weather 😆🤦‍♂. My SAD isn’t too bad this year but as there’s not much work I’m staying in bed longer 😖. I just want Xmas to be over and done… too many dead people to remember in December lol😔. Please go steady with your lovely engagement ring on… I’ve seen the pics of people being de-gloved 🤢🤢🥴

it doesn't look it has hindered his ability to please and enjoy himself at the same time . kudos to vlad🤣

In the states we call it husbandry and you dare not make fun of the husband 😁 and Nick just let her know you get better like wine with age 😋👌🇬🇧🐝 how must truly have some British in me I get manic depressive after 3 days of Drury weather 😉🐝

Sheeps feet and wet weather aren't a good mix. Sorry to bother you with a question but have you ever used a leather radle with the changeable coloured crayons? Great video. As you say it will soon be the shortest day. Always feel a little better knowing the days are lengthening. All the best 🇬🇧.

the hay thing is a pain for sure in a frame in a bin or on the grass they get wasted cant find a big way to fix it ...... sorry bout the lameness hugssss

Dont forget some colour for nick😂

may be old but like Nike still up for it.🤣🤣 Cheeky Mare.🤫

How does Nick behave when he has the rattle can applied to his tummy?? :-)

Excellent vidio jo .pour nick or is it old and randy just don't Radall him jo...

Jo lol I hope you don’t do nicks chest with paint lol 😂

Do different breeds of sheep get more trouble with lameness than others........in cattle especially dairy cattle thats the case to a certain extent...... Holsteins are known for there feet troubles. your right this time of year is depressing.......a nice sunny day helps but we don't get many of them

Hi Joanna, Why don't you keep a beautiful horse too on the farm.

Front foot won't slow him down.

Hi blessings do u share the gospel
