Sometimes it's not just the dog that should be neutered. 🤣

“Thick breeds thick and thick breeds fast” ☹️

[@alt8120]

that guy just took the meaning of sheepdog to a new level 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

Mate, you’re doing great! Not a week…or maybe even day…especially this time of year I question why I’m a farmer. Why I choose this bloody farm and whether it will ever get better?? Been doing that for 35 years. Haven’t packed it in yet. 3 farms later it still hasn’t beaten me cuz I just love it and the livestock so much!!! And we raise vexatious jerseys!🙄

[@djborud]

Don’t forget to mention how viewers can buy you a “Pint”! I’m sure more watchers would like to contribute to you and Zoe’s successful farming! Praying for abundant blessings on your business from here forward! You are an inspiration Chris! Happy New Year!

[@danjdclark]

I had a similar conversation with a neighbour about his dog, his fence,my fence, my poultry and my Browning over and under. Problem solved😊

[@NanaPea]

You are so funny, makes me laugh…some ppl have dogs with more brain cells than currently reside in the owner’s head.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

You can do everything right , but there are aggravating problems like other people and their dogs that are beyond your control. Working in isolation certainly makes problems hit you even more deeply. Thanks for bringing us along. 👍👍😊

[@user-ni8fm1mq3k]

Chris you are a crack up - that story you told of the guy who's dog won't chase (I persume not do the wild thing) the sheep becasue it is neutered - I am still laughing at that one - nearly spat my coffee across the room - Morning from New Zealand, from the selection of vlogs that were posted overnight yours was the first I watched

[@ErinOFlaherty-yk4cg]

So much humour, so much heart. Love your vids!! My 9yo daughter and I like to watch them together. We’re eagerly awaiting your “how I got into farming” video. ❤️❤️

[@vxnova1]

Make sure to inform the dog owner harasses your sheep that they are liable for all damages caused, also if you are there when harassment is happening that you could pew, pew the dog, as they are a little clueless it may help save some sheep’s lives,

[@sandrad2506]

And the dogs😢

[@paulthompson8467]

We all have off days and wonder why we keep on farming im 50 and i still dont know the answer i think the love for farming is just in you bit like arthritis😂

[@barbalbers8920]

Maybe all those grey rainy days helping you feel down? I have no idea how you fix the kind of stupid that dog owner oozes. Saw a video over on sheepgame where the dog walkers didnt even ask how a bike rider was after the dogs they couldnt control attacked him. Its just unbelievable. You are a very patient and kind man to be worrying more about his small child than your livelihood. You are an excellent human being. I hope you have sunny and cheery days ahead with no interactions with dogs! Very ingenious foot bath!

[@icryostorm3727]

in bits chris - wool board... sun. good on ya,.

[@timwood1153]

It’s a trying time ,but arguably it always is to be honest,when your stood in your field watching your lambs that’s what it’s all about dude,besides your a good farmer who cares 😊

[@NZ73200]

Some dog owners really have no idea!! Give him one chance if dog goes for sheep say I’m putting electric tho it!! He could put a long training line so he still got control of dog!! A picket fence would look fine and not ruin the view x

[@carlachalmers4421]

OMG ... "He's neutered and that"

[@S_Eglington]

Tell the owner to walk the dog on the lead upto the the fence and make sure it gets a shock. It works a treat. I had a landowner do it with his own dog never was a problem after that.

[@MrsMeatballs]

Honestly, people are effing demented, mate.

[@chrisely4848]

Lost 23 head last year in Kent. Had to move farms. Nightmare.

[@maryblackhursthill6249]

Farming is one of the hardest and heartbreaking jobs there is, and farmers are the toughest and most resilient people out there. Then again, there are the msgical moments that make it all worthwhile. You are a credit to the farming breed. Im a cattle girl myself, but I love your sheep videos. I do think you should get teeshirts printed up with "Shall We?" on. Although we ladies might find it taken the wrong way! 😂

[@dozzy19]

No matter when I watch your videos they always entertain! Keep it up!

[@joycec84]

To piggyback on what everyone else is sayin, keep on truckin Chris! You are a delight to watch, keep em coming. Excited for more drone footage!

[@OZARKMEL]

I think we all have days, no matter what your business is, that we question our sanity of even being there! I hope your year goes by smoothly and you reach deep on those bad days and remember the joy you feel raising sheep! Happy New Year.

[@jeffjones7004]

Great video

[@parishsuffolks924]

Great video keep a tight eye on the ewe that went over on her back when it happened once it will happen again

[@kirstydaus824]

I don't know what it is.....I just like watching you do your thing 😉 from NSW Australia 😊💗

[@garymadden2656]

Great video kris you are doing a fantastic job keep it going you gets days when you think why bother but if you love what you do it’s easy 👍👌👌👌

[@snowdoniaescape]

And that is exactly the kind of person who should never be allowed to own a dog. What the flip? Who would rent a house with no fence when they have a dog? If you see it out report to the council dog warden. I did that with one that used to wander onto my land and it soon stopped.

[@caffrey9762]

I haven't seen the 🌞for a month, I knew it was up there somewhere 😎. What is it with people & dags, there everywhere & they treat them like people 🙄. Spending big money on them, stinking up the house & car, carrying poo bags everywhere. Dog hair every where. Barking at nothing. Really there not that bright either 🦧

[@charlotteashleyfarm]

I can’t even cope what the holy hell no wonder your running out of patience 😡😡😡

[@puirYorick]

Years ago, I went with my brother-in-law to an organic farm where they bought turkeys for the holidays. I saw the scruffy farm dog madly humping away at a disinterested young calf in the barn. The farmer was more concerned about having his sons spread a fresh bale of straw over the muddy floor so my City-boy footwear wouldn't get ankle-deep in cow poop. Clearly, the action of their *shaggy* dog was of no great note to them. Naively, I suppose, inter-species "dating" on a farm was not something I'd much considered before. Though I fully comprehend the encounter's biological limitations, it put me right off their "organically farmed meats."

[@thegreat7861]

A dog managed to mount a calf?!

[@puirYorick]

@@thegreat7861 The calf was resting on the barn floor as some animals do. Doggy saw his chance I guess.

[@thegreat7861]

@@puirYorick interesting picture for our minds eye lol

[@vwvw4]

How long did you watch?

[@puirYorick]

@@vwvw4 Only for a bug-eyed moment. Then I turned to see if my BIL noticed too. He was chatting away with Mr. Farmer. Then my eyes were laser-focused on the ground to keep from stepping in any of the deeper heaps of chocolate pudding.

[@rayblackdog8742]

Great job on the foot bath 🐏🐑

[@paulleaver8820]

You are doing well just keep going the way you are and one day you will have your own farm

[@chloebarber3521]

Love watching you !! What drone do you use , wanting one for our sheep work as well ! Cracking farmer and very realistic - we need more of you in our farming community

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Us urban and city dwellers are so detached from the reality . I know I am one of them and been learning from you farmers . I dont know how to educate people . We are tv generation .and we know its propaganda . Sorry for your woes .i am not excusing it . Its up to us to educate are selves .

[@thegreat7861]

Channels like this one are a great way of educating people. Harry’s farm is another fantastic KZbin channel. Definitely recommend both to your friends 🙂

[@FarmFreshIB]

Exactly right. I am sorry for the legions of people that have been detached from their food source and the amazing dance that is farming. YOU DO know how to educate people. Share this and channels like it. Talk to friends about things they never knew existed. Talk to them about how sheep on a grain field can help reduce or PREVENT chemicals from being used to control weeds or disease in the grain crop. Make those sheep important to your friends PERSONALLY. Every bloke enjoys a pint. Wouldn't it be better if the pint came from a field of barley winter grazed by sheep. When you see that friend with a dog wanting to hike through the lambing field to see the lambs... stop them. Spread the word about staying ON walking paths and keeping dogs on the leash. Also spread the word about not dumping your garbage or stealing the gates off the hinges. Every stolen gate is more cost to the farmer and less lamb roast on the table. Be a tv generation WARRIOR Nancy. We farmers are depending on people just like YOU.

[@CatherineKelly-wl7is]

did you consider putting a camera with the sheep so that if that idiots dog does chase your sheep you will have proof really enjoy your channel thanks

[@peterww3106]

Chris, what’s the music playing at 6:40?? Cheers

[@lesleywatkins1172]

You just can’t beat stupid! I’d have electrified the fence and take a chance! As you say it’s not up to you to look after his dog!

[@piperboyjamie]

Best not to use the formalin when it has crystallised like that. It is usually caused by frost. Might reduce the efficacy of the treatment.

[@rescuecow90]

I use 2k litres a year,the bottom of the ibc is always white and lumpy,it always stronger.

[@NZ73200]

Has the fence helped?? R u sheep ok x

[@regenesteffen2814]

Some people you just pray don't procreate

[@jillbrison5177]

It's sadly not just city folk. I have a cousin who's currently living on our grandparents' old land. His neighbor found his dogs eating on one of the neighbors' dead calves. My cousin is so defensive that his dogs would never and he shouldn't have to put them on a lead and he won't pay for the dead calf. Our whole family has told him he's in the wrong and he needs to do something about his dogs, but he won't listen. His neighbor is going to kill those dogs to protect their livelihood and the only one to blame is my idiot cousin.

[@Rhodietoo]

You might have a latex allergy, try non latex gloves the next time you resupply, and see if they prevent the itch.

[@emma_m0]

Surely that would make his hands itch, not his face?! 🤷‍♀️

[@Rhodietoo]

Typically it would be both, but this could be a typical, and possibly become worse over time, just a suggestion which might help.@@emma_m0

[@joycec84]

I thought this at first then realized what he was saying - the moment you’re NOT supposed to touch your face, you (psychosomatically?) often feel like rubbing your eye or you get a nose itch or something, it’s just a silly thing that happens
