MOVING THE NEW FLOCK OF SHEEP!

We moved the sheep across the road so they could get water from the building site. It was getting to be too much of a chore to water that many shee with a water barrel. This way they can have access to the winter water 24/7. Also did chores at home on the dairy farm and show everyone a little bit of the process for feeding the milk cows!

With all the work that needs to be done on a dairy farm, it's a wonder that you have time for all the other things you do.

[@antonhuman8446]

Dairy. Pigs. Chickens. 24/7 x 360°.

If i didn't know you just got those sheep i would've guessed you'd been doing it for years! Moved them masterfully!! Also I'm super impressed with their mothering ability so far!

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Lol thanks Jared! And yeah I’m definitely happy with the mothering ability!

Bart is as cool as they get, it would be interesting if you could get him to do an interview and give a history of his farm. I'll bet ha has a story or two. Should be a little less stressful with the sheep on water, and Rusty needs a raise, lol. Have a great day Jordan.

Thanks George!

[@wholeviewfarm]

Really fun to watch that move! I wouldn't be brave enough to do it without setting up a lane, but then, I don't have a Rusty/

Hi Jordan, congratulations on getting all of those Sheep moved. It was neat to see the herd going through the gate, onto the road and across to the other side. With so many goats and sheep it is good that you have the extra puppies to help protect them both.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Yeah it worked out pretty well! Thank you!

[@joshhorvat8247]

Rusty is worth his weight in gold.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

You bet he is! I’ll never go without a good dog after seeing how much he’s helped us out!

[@joeyhoosiercanine9120]

Are you going to end up culling the super heavy coated sheep?

[@MrOrcslayer]

You'll need a guard dog or three.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

We’ve got them luckily !

@@WholesomeFamilyFarms coyotes are brutal on sheep.

[@antonhuman8446]

I take it the haulage trailer for the sheep was a triple deck. How many head can such a trailer accommodate? Give gas. RSA.

[@WholesomeFamilyFarms]

Yes it was a triple deck. They were able to get 400 on per load. The 2nd load was tight but first was good.

[@antonhuman8446]

Many thanks. RSA.@@WholesomeFamilyFarms
