If wasn't for development or supplements, much of New Zealand wouldn't be suitable for sheep farming, especially here in Taupo, as pumice landscapes has no minerals, henceforth the introduction of the supplement minerals, enables the Taupo plateau to be productive, I think foreign viewers will definitely have a negative thoughts, 😊.Snowie will obviously be in next year's dog show, 😅😅,

It is an interesting conversation. With NZ being a young landmass with a lot of mineral deficiency. It's all about perception and education, why we do what we do.

23:35 the lambs you cut the tails off of needs to be weaned obviously all of them looked to be 20lbs or better so they definitely can get on creep an be weaned WHAT YOU WAITING ON FOR THEM TO SUCK THE EWE DRY

That's not how we do it in New Zealand. Our advantage is grass fed lamb that is cheaper and more environment friendly to produce.

I think where the confusion is regards Cammys comment, is that we can import Smartshot and Troyvit B12 jabs (only B12) into the UK and plenty of us do so, but we aren't allowed to use the versions with selenium.

@kiwifarmernzКүн бұрын
It's due to a reduction in sheep numbers here in NZ. There will be over 1million less lambs on the ground this year compared to last year. It's going to be hard for meat companies to keep their chains full.

We have selenium, cobalt, B12 drench and bolus or part of a multi vitamin drench over here 🇮🇪 you can get them injectable separately haven't seen injectable together nothing controversial in what you guys have, easier than the bolus slower release than the drench just another task when going through the yards. Ah snowy brilliant wonder what he thinks he is a heading dog or huntaway.

@@kiwifarmernz Thats true mate, lived and worked there for some time. One of the things that always sticks with me is when you buy Big Rooster there, yes I know its Red Rooster here now, there was always a few feather stem left on the chicken. I asked one of my workers why and he told me they were for tooth picks. Another chicken place although I cant remember the name for some reason only cooked the thigh part of the chicken, dont know what happened to the rest. Hang on it was Tasty Fried Chicken. The chicken was never cooked properly, always raw in the centre but the chips there were brilliant. I could rave on for ages but I wont.

Thanks for showing the hedge trimming. The operator appeared to do a good job of keeping the line straight, the sides and top squared off. Makes your farms appearance very neat and tidy. Here in Kansas, USA our hedge row trees grow naturally without any trimming not as clean looking.

It's good when they are trimmed as they don't encroach out into the paddock. Makes a heck of a mess tho.

Having watched your videos and those of Ben at Deep South , you do have close to perfect conditions for grass based farming. I grew up on a sheep farm in Ireland and have been involved in the sheep industry in Scotland and Canada. Your winters seem to be just mild enough to allow lambing without the buildings needed in Scotland. You seem to get enough heat and rain to consistently grow grass without extended droughts and you have few lamb eating pests like our coyotes here in Canada. Keep the videos coming .
