Hill Ewes in The Yards

[@oliverherrington3343]

Hi Alistair, mate another great video, me and my family in southwest England are hooked. Always tricky when there’s a casualty, I cut a milk vein when shearing once and had 1 or 2 others die on me on the shearing board. It’s never nice but at least we can still be dignified and respectful. Well done

[@edrouse9578]

Hey Alistair how far is the lease block from your main farm. Thanks for the video Mate

[@kiwifarmernz]

Its only about 6km but through Oxford, so cant walk stock there.

[@thomasevans5491]

Ewes looking well Alistair 👌 can I ask why you didn't vaccinate while they were in the crate getting crutched save your knees 😉

[@kiwifarmernz]

Find it hard to vac in the racewell as you have to lift every head up.

[@JohntyNich]

Do they still sell the narrow combs? I used to find them very handy for crutching. They shouldn’t be any slower. I probably went faster with them as there was less risk of accidentally nicking them.

[@kiwifarmernz]

Yea they do. I use them for lambs.

[@phil6465]

You mentioned that some of the cattle were BVD ones? Is NZ running any eradication?

[@kiwifarmernz]

Not a national eradication program its down to the individual farmers.

[@phil6465]

@@kiwifarmernz In the Orkney Islands, we led the way in BVD eradication. Then Scotland began as a country. We were vaccinating with pregsure vaccine and ended up with bleeding calf syndrome in some calves. Current vaccine seems OK.

We call it taking their knickers off this side of the globe, but your probably far too polite over there to say that.

[@deedawson6074]

Vulva, dear.

[@gennabird107]

Nah see that's where I wasn't sure if I was referring to the vulva, I think it was the clitoris, but definitely not the vagina 😂

That's what got me thinking...hadn't really considered it until having to avoid cutting it! I could be wrong 😂
