It's normal practice to breed ewe lambs, here, if they are over 50 kg, the important thig is to breed to a ram that sires a smaller headed, narrow shouldered lamb or you'll have a lot of push-me-pull-you's. And also a breed of ram that produces a really vigorous lamb. Ewe lambs, bred to suffolk and the resulting lazy lamb that lays there for 1/2 hr before getting up, is a disaster. The other drawback is ewe lambs that drop a lamb and run from it, I'm not sure if you get the same issue with older first time lambers? I always let the ewe lambs mother up in a lambing pen. Can't give enough praise for you having your Dad on your channel. He's a gem! Brilliant of Snickers to sponsor you, best trial for outdoor gear.

ya hopefully they will be lucky. delighted with the snickers clothing.Thanks very much for the video and appreciate the comment,👍👍

[@sheepshepherd]

Thanks very much for the video and appreciate the comment,👍👍

[@benburns5995]

Hi Glyn, wow, that wind, fog and constant rain looked really bad in this video. The way the water was flowing you can see how much rain you have had. Congrats to Charles for getting the 300 sheep scanned in a 1 hour period. Looks like you had perfect weather to test the Snickers apparel with the cold and wet weather. Hopefully one day your dad can take a vacation in the warm sunshine and relax. It seems like he is going to work until he can't do it anymore. Poor Charlie. It looks like he was struggling with all of the rain, wind and dreadful weather. He is such a great Labrador.

[@sheepshepherd]

ya tough going now,Thanks very much for the video and appreciate the comment,👍👍

[@colinmayes9446]

Glyn, if you get much more rain you'll go rusty, the weather is dire but hopefully things will get better soon. Your sheep look well despite the wet so you must be good shepherds, look after your father he needs to be careful with the bad weather but I imagine he's pretty tough. Best wishes to you and thanks for the video.

[@sheepshepherd]

ya you're right we will, Thanks very much for the video and appreciate the comment,👍👍

[@johnmulligan7853]

How long did it take to take those sheep down from the mountain from the time you left the house and back? Is there any advantage to the horned sheep compared to other breeds?

[@sheepshepherd]

no other breed would live up there. they are hardy sheep, took a full day

[@Factchecker111]

[@frankcaton2629]

How come that you never feed any silage or hay in the shed a I think that I s why you had some many prolapse’s last year. I love watching the videos.

[@sheepshepherd]

[@belindareitz9873]

Fog is thick. Just call you ultra sheep person and tell him of extreme fog. Cannot gather sheep well, because you cannot see them. However, this video might be a week old. But I’m careful with my monies and since KZbin and notoriety money is coming in a bit more. And I’m absolutely I’m enjoying the positive vibes on this KZbin and discard a young sheparddress that swears almost every word like terrects swearings… Well, that’s enough of comments for now. B

Jaysus lads yer starting to get free stuff, 12 and a half thousand subs plus, before long you’ll be givin yer man Pemberton and the father a run for his money! Great scan . I gave up putting the ram with lambs , mainly because I’m too old for the hardship and I was never able to get the feeding right I either gave them to much and couldn’t get the lambs out of them or not enough and had small little lambs and not a lot of suck. But then again I was always lambing them at the end of lambing and I was just nackered and mad busy by then moving ewes and lambs.

[@sheepshepherd]

ya they are not easy thats gor sure, feed away now but a few weeks before lambing, we will easy the feed back, noting worse than big lambs on small ewes.

[@sheepshepherd]

dont know about that now😆😆😂 appreciate the comment

[@JayKehoe]

What is a mule ewe?? 😅😅

[@sheepshepherd]

You're gonna have to edit these videos with your dad not having his helmet on that quad Glyn. Even if its just him sat there took off while looking People will be evil and report you.

[@patricksheridan7899]

@lisakedward1162, Do you think some gobshite thats afraid of work has the authority to tell another living man what to do. Who gives that authority?
