We had one of your bred tups a few years back (racy ghyll gulliver) up here in Shetland. We have a flock 100ish herdies, the locals don’t like it but we have had had them for 30 + years and won’t be changing. Great sheep great flock.

I was absolutely entranced when I first saw these beautiful sheep, grazing on the hill in Carlisle park in Morpeth. They are pets though…..we just enjoy watching them graze on William de Merley’s mound.

Great video, yes, my chickens love grass…lovely to watch them eat it….amazing healthy ..appetites! mine also love lots of sprouts…. I am interested to know more about what you are saying..I have 6 Cornish cross hens at 21 weeks old..unfortunately I had to process the 2 remaining roosters as they caused some deep wounds in the hens and were starting to go for me…they were very healthy… I cannot get a mature rooster for a few months as the hens heal their wounds…so might get a very young one…..apart from my hens wounds they are very healthy…very large but still run and are happy to perch on a very low perch so they don’t hurt themselves….. Looking very deeply into what rooster to get……do you have any advice on how to raise a gentle rooster please? Been looking at the light Sussex, speckled Sussex and australorp as options…. Maybe the Sommerlads. I really want a rooster in my garden that I am not afraid of every time I go out and that he also is gentle in the ladies……

Hi, thank you for your interest. Michael Sommerlad is a dear friend and I made this video for him. To answer your question, he tells me that unfortunately fertility is directly correlated with aggression and he will select for that to ensure optimal fertility. So the most aggressive roosters will be most fertile. Breed does play a role, and also diversity amongst individuals, so some may be less aggressive and some more. Choose heavy American or European breeds like Wyandotte or Orpington, and avoid light breeds such as leghorn, Ancona, and game breeds if you want more gentle roosters. Perhaps also try using a hen saddle if the roosters get too rough. And don’t respond or react to any aggressive behaviour as it only reinforces this behaviour and they get more aggressive. Good luck!

@@rarestoration. I’ve got myself 4 sommerlad hens and a rooster..They are all about 16 weeks old and mounting…I am following the advice from a lady on KZbin…once or twice a day I pick him up…..early in the morning or bed time. I hold him firmly especially when he’s trying to get away and I gently stroke his head and back…..this is supposed to mimic what a rooster would do to him….but I am trying to establish dominance without hurting him or being aggressive. Although I do have to hold onto him very tightly when he tries to get away….I speak nicely to him…hoping this will work…any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Everything you say makes 100% sense to me - and all the more so since you say this from within the experience, not wishing it were so from an outside, perhaps nostalgic or ill-informed, or romantic point of view. It's very hard to stop the rate of change that we're all experiencing, which makes good decision making, even if it happens, become obsolete in ever-shortening time. I hope that changing climates call a halt and a pause to re-think, and not the destructive path that may yet unfold.
