Aw what’s wrong with that ewe’s foot? 😢

@stillwatersfarmtn 5 күн бұрын
Her shepherd was new and inexperienced. 😢 She got a bad case of foot rot and I tried to treat it without knowing enough about it. We ended up taking her to the vet and he was able to help but she ultimately lost her toes on that hoof. She has managed quite well since. I am designing a prosthetic foot for her. I hope it will work and I can show it in a video someday.

I can't say often enough how thrilled i am that you can call your sheep better than some people can call their dogs 🙂Nice to see that the sheep are having such a good time on the pastures and amazing how quickly they eat everything away there. Windy's new born lamb is such a cutie. I love how it starts complaining at 15:43 because it was scared by the sheep 😅

It was so heartbreaking to see how he struggled. I hope everything is ok with him apart from his impairment? He is also holding his head very crooked and his posture looks very restricted. I hope he is not in pain the little one. Aaaaaand from minute 13:00 i am sure I can hear the little cubby calling out from the crowd all the time haha. I think cubby thinks you are his "mum" because you fed him so often with the bottle. when he was at your height, he became very calm. i think he was always calling for you all the time. Such a cutie!

We call them “hair sheep”. I think they must be less insulated than wool sheep, so it has to have some effect on them. But I think they are still adequately equipped to handle the cold. The wind is what concerns me. As long as they can get out of the wind, I think they can stay warm enough. But, I feel better giving them a heat source with the lamps. It costs us very little to provide it and they do use them so I know it helps. ♥️🐑

Even if the little lambs would of course be better off with their mother, i think it's a great experience to be lucky enough to raise a bottle lamb and to shower it with love and attention. I am sure that ducky enjoyed her childhood very much and that you were a great replacement for her mother and she is certainly grateful that you were there for her when her mum unfortunately couldn't be. Also i'm a little jealous! I'm sure it's wonderful to have such a lovely little lamb around you 😅 I'm sorry that her sister didn't make it but i'm sure that she too will have their place in god's eternal kingdom. He will never forget and never betray his creation. Especially not such innocent creatures that had to "cover" our sins for so long before he sent us the son who brought us forgiveness and redemption too. "For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine." (Psalm 50:10-12) 🙏

This looks so pretty and comfy with the sheep in the snow. I wish it would still snow where i live but the last real snow here was years ago. If you don't live in south-germany (towards bavaria for example), snow has become very, very rare here. When i was a kid, we could go sledging every winter. Now the kids don't even have sledges here anymore. I've got lucky for work-related reasons and used to live in bavaria for a few years back then and always loved all the snow there. It was also the first time in my life that I saw happy cows running around in the pastures. Before that, I only have seen cows that stood depressed in the pasture 🥲 Also i do love the fact that the little rascals also have heat lamps in their stable to keep them warm. 🤗 I particularly liked these two passages: 2:22 "Wait! Is that my bottle? Here comes the flash!" Totally cute! Almost inhales the bottle away 😅 13:49 "Hey what's that? Let me say hello too!" 😂 Anyway! Thank you for all the great videos.

Oh that is a nice comparison. For me the sheep also remind me of our own position somehow. When we close our hearts to jesus and his message, then we lose our shepherd and we go astray and lose ourselves in the trivialities of the world. It was jesus himself, as it is written in the bible, who was filled with mercy when he saw us like this. Helpless and tired, like sheep without a shepherd. Sometimes i think we can learn a few things from the sheep. They are one of the most cheerful creatures and truly innocent. Full of trust in the ewe and the shepherd, the lambs live carefree into the day and spread so much joy and life. It's amazing how it was those woolly and wonderful creation of god that led me back to a path directly into the arms of jesus and his good message 🐑☺

His mom died when he was 3-1/2 weeks old on Jan 1. Tomorrow, he will be 2 months old. While he “could be” weaned, it costs me next to nothing to carry him a little further. If his mom were alive, he would not be naturally weaned fully until 5-6 months of age (sometimes longer). The two bottles/day is inconsequential in terms of cost and effort and helps him thrive. The connection we have created as a result also compensates some for the emotional loss of his mom. As his “mom” now, he still has a surrogate mom to some degree. How much that helps cannot be measured or proven, but in the 10 years we have been raising livestock, I have become convinced they have emotional connections as well and perform better when those needs are met. And, perhaps as importantly as anything mentioned prior, I feel it is my duty to provide the best life I can for them while managing costs. I am their shepherd, not merely their owner. I truly appreciate your watching the channel and for your comments! ♥️🐑

Yep! Although the next one to drop won’t have this particular barn briefing, that will be the following one.

Please stay warm. Oh, sheep? The pastures will be back once the cold weather and snow ❄️ is gone. Till then, stay cozy in the barn and listen to your shepherd. That includes you too, Ducky. 😊 Your shepherd has experience and is a wise man.

I just noticed you keep your sheep natural tails. 😊 Nice flock

Yes! Our sheep are hair sheep (mostly Katahdin, some dorper mix). Unlike wool sheep, there is little to no concern about fly strike or other complications with their rear ends. Thank you! We are still learning much as we go and making management improvements as we find new/better ways to keep them healthy and thriving.

@@stillwatersfarmtn love dorper sheep, and hair sheep of any kind. It's a natural sheep and few on KZbin ( except perhaps Eurasian uploaders). I'm excited! Sheep are my new subject to learn about. God bless and looking forward to more videos!
