Ya he's lived a crazy life with a lot of changes over them years and he's still going

Cheers John, glad to have them done, I have 120 organic ewes to do and and some replacement lambs aswell. But ya its very tough work

Thanks John , trying my best anyway 😂

😂😂I can make this happen

Charlie the lab is a super help especially driving them on. He thinks he's a sheep dog

Left hand is right, he didn't do a bad job to be fair 😂😂👍👍

👍👍

Good to know, I've never heard of it, where is it made, Irish company??

Ya we had the video off for that part 🙈🙈 Ya I'm still sore after it tbh 😂😂👍 Thanks for the comment

Ya you're right there, the lambs do thrive on the nuts and great to get them away earlier on to save grass

Creep depends on your system,amount of good ground available and importantly your soil type/ environment and of course benefit related to cost. I'm here in upland donegal. I lamb outdoors in April. Won't sell a lamb till sep/Oct and in some yrs Dec. I have more ground than sheep! So grass (of varying quailty) isn't my problem. Cheaper for me to allow stock manage ground rather than me topping. That said do both. Enjoy your vids. Look after da. I've missed mine over the last Yr.

Ya he's going well 😂,👍👍

Thats good weight in fairness to ya. Well done, did you find the lambs improved since you changed to a bolus

Good to hear, must check them out 👍👍

The shearing is very tough.. I take my hands off to the people at for the entire summer, their tough out. 👍👍

@@sheepshepherd gosh your right about that.

We have the year they were born their tag, it's just very easy to see when they have the spray on their poll. But ya good idea, It's just standard engine oil we use

Fair play 150 is good going 👏 thanks 👍

Good to hear, how long have you been using it. What's the main benefit you find best from it

@@sheepshepherd lambs thrive after cobalt fix bolus and get to 40-45 kilos in 12 weeks.ewes have bolus after scanning and produce strong lambs full of vigour and ewes have quality colostrum.🐑👍used Mayo boluses last 5years.

👍👍

Super thanks for the advice. I was never in roscommon. Must visit some day. We will 👍 thanks for the comment. Keep them coming

Too many, 800 ewes this year roughly. 150 hoggets and 1250 lambs

I was in Taz for a week, absolutely loved it. Very similar to Ireland, I lived in Sydney 👍 great country Australia

helen- 7 days ago in auckland city library ahh read in old book that the most perfect sheep station/ farm in all human history was Gwavas Station on highway 50 in hawkes bay- new zealand .- A family in 1840 who were half English/ half Indian came too Welligton then in 1854 established Gwavas sheep station .- it statartd as 38 ,000 acres and now 3,000 acres. original woolshed burnt down but hav new one . When ahh told a India lady yesterday about the India connection she did not beleive me, as assumed India not interested in British culture adventures. - Sometime between 1854- 2023 Gwavas Sheep station /farm was judged the most perfect shheep farm in human history according too the library boook. - Anyone out there ever slaved on that station/farm- ??????

@@seanodwyer4322 that's very interested. Crazy, I don't know but would be great to find out. 38.0000 is massive

That's the best advice I heard all week, how many ewes would they need to test? And does this cost much?

@@sheepshepherd When i did mine it was about 15 in total, that was one of that years lambs, couple of hoggs from the year before and the rest were shearlings up to 5 shear. The main things we are deficient in is cobalt and selenium, i have tried a few different bolus over the years but always gone back to the Agrimin one, its a big bolus and takes a bit of getting used to getting done but once you have done a few it is grand...

@@sheepshepherd Cost wise was about a £10 life...

@@sheepshepherd about 5 in 100 i say want get from each year they joined the flock

@@noelgalagher2712 thanks I might do that

Cheers.. how long have you been using it?

@@sheepshepherd about 5 years you can get it from dublin

I will make a video 100% , should be selling them Wednesday 👍👍

@@sheepshepherd best of luck with them fella 👍🏻👍🏻

I'll see Noel, Im gonna bring them in sunday and weight them all, I got screwed a few times in the factory the last few years, I'll see how the mart is going also.

@@sheepshepherd kildare chilling l go too happy give good weights in a producer group we send about 25 thousand each year

​@@noelgalagher2712how do you become a member of a producer group. Is there any in kerry

👍👍

A bolus from them or a liquid drench? That's crazy how long before did you give them the bolus

@@sheepshepherd they had a bolus every 6 months. The only bolus that i have heard good reports from are cosecur glass bolus but drenching for me works fine now. Most seem to be manufactured in ireland so could be cheaper for you anyway

He was off a Texel ram and a Texel cross. Super lamb. I'm very impressed with texels the last few years

Thanks 👍 well fcked after it.

We get absolutely nothing, 200 euro I got for all my ewes last year, it would cost me over 3,000 to get people in if I had to pay. It's such a pity for a great product

74 years young 😂

Probably right👍

Batching them up matching weights bringing on the smaller ones would be a good decision get them going every week will take pressure off the land and the amount of creep there using most up around wicklow don’t wean them straight to the mart no stress on them little weight loss as well get them up on the ramp in the mart your job is done

Ya you're spot on 👍👍

Hang all lambs at38kg Bestluck
