Nice sheep, nice video - where are you injecting them, just behind the shoulder or further back? Normally do mine in the neck but your way looked quicker - my sheep know what’s coming so this way would get them of guard 🙂
@sheepschool365
@sheepschool365 Жыл бұрын
Injecting halfway back, maybe a little further foward. I find there is plenty of loose skin to pull out in that area. Everybody has a different way but I find that works well for me.

I've been keeping some sheep for the last 10 yrs on 3acres i reclaimed. (Borrowed) I was thinking of buying more land so i would qualify for farm subsidies. Do you think it would be worthwhile as i never made alot out of what I've done so far. I just enjoy it?

I personally could not see the proceeds of sheep farming paying for the purchase of land. Unfortunately margins are just too tight. A better option maybe renting some ground which would be a fraction of cost depending on what area you are in...

A lot of bother around my neck of the woods with stray dogs, otherwise known as the family pet, which wouldn't hurt a fly, according to their owner's. It reminds me of the joke about a boxer in a ring who was taking a lot of punishment, when he came back to his corner, his corner man said you are doing great the other fella isn't laying a glove on you, to which our hero replied, you need to keep a eye on that referee because someone is beating the head off me.

Problem dogs are a sheep farmer's worst nightmare. Had plenty of trouble over the years but discovered a drastic solution. I always have the shotgun with me and shoot any dogs in field with my sheep. Thankfully the law is on our side on that one.. Dog owners do not realise a short chase, even without a single bite this time of year can cost a farmer thousands due to aborted lambs...
