This video is what all irish sheep farming is about, family run, massive pressure with work and little people running around and getting involved and learning. Greatest childhood they could ever get. And id say a very happy daddy to have that help and that crack with all the the young side of the family. Massive fan here in wexford. Always look forward to the next week❤

[@SeanieD1968]

Your girls are so cute and great to see they are interested in pulling the lambs ❤

[@michellebarbour5777]

As an old teacher, I reckon that those children will understand more about oxygen and food through the umbilical cord and the process of birth than most GCSE students of 15 in the city. Wonderful communication and kindness in teaching and living.

[@elaineewen6635]

Lovely family ❤

[@PeterOMep-fm6wl]

You have a wonderful family David and you are giving your children something more valuable and powerful than anything else a parent can give - your time and attention.

[@lorrainecrum1617]

Great video. Well done girls on your first lambing 👏👏

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Looks like that fox has had a few good lamb dinners. Great job pulling your first lamb Ada 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊

[@kadiechristiansen2369]

My 7 kiddos here are saying "it's not as big as our foxes" 😂 We're one of the only farms in the area (Northern Minnesota, USA) with critters so we draw the predators! so happy My kids can see other kids sheep farming like them. Thank you for your time and information!

[@mandywams]

I’m bedridden and what’s your flogs all the time but this time I was in tears watching your daughter delivering the lambs and getting so confident by the 3rd time bless your such a good farmer and Dad

[@terrynoland487]

Excellent video again thanks for sharing lots of little helpers and the main man Robbie

[@cormacpower104]

[@farmerslife2612]

The Best of luck with your shad lad and great work with your sheep 🐑 lad 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pamelaclayton7535]

It is lovely to see the whole family taking part. Robbie who is always willing to help. All the children who are getting involved with the lambing. Hopefully Noah will follow in his father’s footsteps and love the sheep. Lovely to see the aunties, granny and mom as well. The two boys who keep things running while you are busy with other things. Congratulations on a very happy family. You are building a legacy for the family. Keep them coming!

[@garymadden2656]

Great video David isn’t it great your two girls are taking a interest great stuff 👌👌

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Good stuff

[@violettevicencio363]

22:09 This reminds me of “Little Bo-Peep” & “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from Nursery Rhymes (1983)

[@oppamaclare]

19:00 It's the hormone Oxytocin. Same for cows. I do that same trick myself when calving cows.

[@michellebarbour5777]

You probably know that human males start getting some oxytocin around the age of 50. It's the 'tend and befriend' hormone in all mammals and makes us like others more ;)

[@oppamaclare]

@@michellebarbour5777 No, I didn't know that, cheers.

[@MstresVampy]

This was am amazing video w th kiddos .. lots of educational experience ❤

[@FarmFreshIB]

Excellent job!! My granddaughter got to watch you lamb your first. I am hoping that she can lamb her first one someday soon as well!

[@violettevicencio363]

This reminds me of A Christmas Romance (1994)
