Well done David. Sheep are hard work and any money you get it well earned. You bought 2 great Rams. Plenty of power. It wouldnt pay to keep hoggetts an extra year when you can get 150 for ewe lambs..Good 👍 luck with everything 😅😅😅

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you! I haven't decided what to do with the lambs going forward but I think if I made €80 - €100 each I would keep them on.

[@bigmacbricky4866]

Congratulations David well deserved. You have got me interested in Lleyn sheep. Sounds like a low maintenance sheep and lambing outdoors suits me too. Lovely looking sheep.

When can we see some more workshop repair videos David

[@sheepschool365]

Busy in the workshop at the minute but fairly mundane stuff and not sure if anybody would want to watch it....

[@patrickkelly1055]

Great to see the rewards from the hard work , what’s your thinking now on selling them as ewe lambs vs hoggets

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks Patrick. I haven't decided what to do with the lambs going forward but I think if I made €80 - €100 each I would keep them on.

[@tommaheady5230]

Fair play to ya

[@simonconroy2045]

Nice lots there - You sound like a Cavan man - Do you ever have sales in Cootehill?

Hard work always pays 💯 Ps: ya scrub up gud 👍

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you 👌

[@notsofancyfarming]

Congrats on first place David, you’ve a very tidy batch of sheep there. I’ll be in the market for a good Lleyn ram after this season, could do a swap? 😉

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks Michael. Always a few rams about. Won't see you stuck 😉

[@budnspud]

OMG that's a fabulous price for your rams.

[@sheepschool365]

It really is! Very happy man 👍

Bactokil spray works very well we find.

Thank you. Petrol or freeing oil works a trick but very severe! Wear gloves 👌

@jamesprendergast6495 Thanks for that James.

[@patrickhiggins3582]

lovely sheep . how many sheep do you have all together?

[@sheepschool365]

Thank you 👌 With breeding ewes, ewe lambs and breeding rams about 600 head altogether...

[@johncullen9177]

What rfid reader are you using ? Top man

[@sheepschool365]

Thanks John. Reader is an Agrident APR600.

[@neil3352]

Brilliant! Well done! Do you think it’s better fattening lambs or trying to get ewe lambs and selling as ewe lambs or hoggets? And do you think it is better keeping them and selling as hoggets as opposed to selling as ewe lambs?

[@sheepschool365]

It's a real gamble as hogget price is very hard to predict and long time to keep them.. the hoggets suit me as I have fragmented land which doesn't suit ewes with lambs at foot.

[@neil3352]

@@sheepschool365 thanks for the reply. It’s nice to get the ewe lambs I think.

[@iainkinehan7030]

I am wondering can the shorn fleeces be used for bedding?

[@sheepschool365]

I have buried some under bedding but it doesn't seem to have decomposed much in 12months..

[@mannionjonny695]

Roscommon Eid read the commercial ewes no need to he writing them in maybe dif for pedigrees

[@sheepschool365]

Would save hours. I don't write tags for the factory just number of lambs in dispatch book...

[@DM-eq1fq]

Is batches of 5 the norm had you? 10 or 12 would be the norm here.

[@sheepschool365]

I've tried batches of 10 before but always seem to get a few quid less with bigger batches.

[@johngillie235]

Have you not thought of keeping a closed flock, for health reasons

[@sheepschool365]

I try to keep the flock as closed as possible but sometimes need to buy rams. Fairly strict with quarantine period for new stock...
