Your family is not afraid of work. Was nice to see Joanne on there. I have missed seeing her on her channel. Serves her right that you didn’t edit out her being silly 😄

We all miss it 😭😂

Love to see you back in beautiful Sligo. What an encouraging scene to see the family all pulling together. Casey is some great dog too. Thanks for bringing happiness to my soul.

[@ewetube.videos]

These are very kind words Christine, I'm humbled! Thank you!

All that wool would be amazing yarn for knitting and crochet.

[@ewetube.videos]

It would, stay tune for Sundays video, I do a bit of scouring and spinning in it!

[@ccpperrett7522]

Knitting and crocheting, now you're talking my language. ❤😊 Love the video.

Greetings from Wisconsin, USA. Just came across your channel and subscribed. My father's side of family Irish heritage, his mother was 1st generation Irish American. We hailed from County Kerry and County Mayo. I've been to Ireland once back in 2002 for about 2 weeks. Absolutely fell in love with her!! Looking forward to return visit someday again. Great channel!

[@ewetube.videos]

Thank you very much Michael, you're well bred! 😂🔥

[@Coffeeology]

My family has a farm in SW Wisconsin and while we're from Norway I always felt so close and support from other farmers in the area.

[@Dannsandiego]

Many hands, indeed. What a great crew!

[@ewetube.videos]

Not a bad one Dan! 😂

[@dorothymarjerrison7994]

Blast of ye in it.... Young lad there pulling out lambs, is all action, fair play to him.

[@ewetube.videos]

The Kells lads are mighty!

[@TheEamonKeane]

Great to see farmer doing the same stuff as us in connemara. Gathering can be the biggest part of the job.

[@tonywalsh8704]

Well done, good days work and a nice bunch of lambs.

[@ewetube.videos]

Thank you Tony!

[@Jp12987]

Great video. Really enjoyed it. What a crew ye had,great to see everyone helping out. Sheep and lambs look good and a nice bonus to get the extra lamb.

[@ewetube.videos]

Thanks a million James glad you liked it 🔥

[@davidnicolson6443]

The ram lambs are looking class! A barbecue when your working on sheep sounds like an excellent idea!

[@ewetube.videos]

Cheers David! Ah it is, they always break it out for big days at our own sheep and it's a great job. 🔥

[@SuzyQ1979]

Awesome job all of you guys!😂 The weather was fantastic to!❤😊

Loved it

What a lovely life bless you all🙏🏼

[@ewetube.videos]

Thanks AP!

[@lankey2652]

Every thought of trying a different hillbreed of sheep like a swale or Dalesbreds

[@ewetube.videos]

We run swale rams on the benbulben flock every couple of years, it's a good mountain though. Down in Gleniff where they are is slightly poorer so we stick to the hardy Mayo. There's a demand for genuine Mayo breeding sheep so I usually sell a few per year!

[@alastairwallis9499]

Another good video cheers

[@ewetube.videos]

You're welcome Alastair, thanks for commenting

[@colleenkopp56]

My first time watching you! What part of Ireland are you coming from? It is nice to see the young ones learning the trade. You people who raise sheep are to be admired ,you are all such hard working people. I am coming to you from Northern California in the Bay Area. Looking forward to future Vlogs!! 11/27/22 1:51pm PDT

Thanks Colleen! Sligo in the Northwest of Ireland, thanks for watching!

[@mikeglynn3676]

[@ewetube.videos]

All those sheep but only one GOAT 🐐😁

[@martinhogan215]

Well done only found ur channel tonight great outfit

[@ewetube.videos]

Thank you Martin! Glad you found us. 🔥

[@TheEamonKeane]

How do you find shearing the replacement ewe lambs? It's not something we've done before.

[@ewetube.videos]

I find it good Eamon, less chance of them getting stuck in the winter particularly.

[@kennethmcandrew3152]

Karl what make is your crate for holding Casey in back of hilux looks a good 1?

[@ewetube.videos]

I think the make is DT Boxes Kenneth, they're made in the north if I'm not mistaken

[@kennethmcandrew3152]

@@ewetube.videos cheers karol👍👍

[@markdonnelly7225]

Hi I like your video

[@ewetube.videos]

Cheers Mark. 🔥

[@elisakozlow_]

Are they raised for their wool? So beautiful!

[@ewetube.videos]

Ah meat and as breeding stock for other farms mostly Elisa, the wool is worth very little!

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Karl I think Joanne sheared more than you tho 😜👌👌

[@ewetube.videos]

Wouldn't be hard Gary 😂

[@westcoast5934]

No shortage of help, have Ye a new member on the shearing crew?

[@ewetube.videos]

A local man who shears came and gave us a dig out, he's camera shy though 😂

[@tpl6851]

Say I'd the mother had twin lamb and one was a ram lamb and one was a ewe lamb and u took the ram lamb would the mother not get mastitis or something or have only 1 spin next year ?

[@ewetube.videos]

They're all singles up there, the twins are kept down on grass for the summer. Good point though! All would probably want to be weaned at once by right.

[@manicspinner1959]

Very curious about the breeds, and what's done with all the wool. -- a handspinner from the US

[@ewetube.videos]

It's very bad money at home currently!

[@manicspinner1959]

@@ewetube.videos I know from watching SheepGame that there is a wool board or something to which sheep farmers send their wool. Do you have something like that in Ireland? We used to have wool "pools" in the US but I think they're all gone now.

[@malcolmduggan5130]

Hi there I'm looking for a trained sheep dog .. I'm in Clare Any suggestions Regards Malcolm
