Beautiful facility Sandi, its been great to see the modern approach to sheep farming! Whoever came up with the idea to get away with a pasture based system and go to a dairy type system was ahead of there time.

💖🐑💖 Another great video, Sandi. I do have a question or two. 1. When you built the pad, footing and alleys why didn't you incorporate drains and in floor heating? The benefits would have been no more frozen water in the north and south alleys and a place for water to drain. Also the barn may stay a little warmer in the dead of winter or sever cold snaps. 2. Is there a reason that you didn't round off the lambing barn at 300'? You would have had space for hay and straw storage on the north side and silos for the haylage and corn silage on the south side. The benefits would have been less plastic wrap and no more bulky ag bags on the asphalt pad and more room for manure storage, and more room for heavy equipment storage that YOU use on a regular basis. ☀☀☀Something else came to mind as I was typing the above, SOLAR PANELS. You get so much great sunlight in your Spring, Summer and Autumn months, why not have panels on the rooves of the sheds and garages? It could take a heck of a bite out of your electric bill. I know you can't put them on the lambing barn, you would loose all of that wonderful light. The finishing barn and old barn would benefit from solar panels too. The initial expense would be a bit on the expensive side but it would pay for itself with saving on the electricity bills. Some areas offer discounts for installing solar panels. I'm sorry if I'm annoying you with this long comment. It's just food for thought. Respectfully Submitted, SY

Hi Sandi, as Ryan Seppanen said tankless water heaters are an on demand system and are actually far more efficient then a tank water heater because they just heat the water as they go instead of heating a body of water and trying to maintain that temperature. Warning tho, they can be costly. Also as you said near the end of your video about a wishing you had a "lamb nanny pen" where you could have your milk nanny in permanently. Would there be any way to expand out your heated room to accommodate your milk nanny without taking up too much space and having some sort of removable pen to keep those lambs in while they are using the milk nanny?
@SandiBrock5 жыл бұрын
Hey Eric! We did look at expanding that room... Unfortunately, we quite literally painted ourselves into a corner... The feed area is directly behind it, the water and hydro are on the entire other wall, and going straight out the man door drops us in front of the big overhead door. We have the nanny now well insulated and if enough lambs on it, hopefully should keep the nipple lines from freezing also. Hindsight is 20/20 for sure! LOL

@SandiBrock5 жыл бұрын
I love my floors for the cleanout. I do go through a lot of bedding, so perhaps having the dirt floor under the pack would help with drainage... I guess I'm pretty lucky that we grow our own straw, but there is costs associated with that. The pack builds up quickly in the winter because of it. But, if given a choice, I would still go with concrete floors.

When do you decide to cull ewes from your herds and how do you control interbreeding and whatnot?
@SandiBrock5 жыл бұрын
I have done a video on this, but maybe worth an update! So really, I use a lot of my weaning information. I collect weaning weights, and develop reports on my Gallagher record keeping system. I have kept track of deaths, and wrote notes on ewes that have been questionable at lambing time. So I go through all that data first and decide who is an automatic cull. Then I run the ewes through my handling system and check udders. Any lumps, or questionable ones get marked with my spray paint to check again before sorting for the next breeding group. Any dry ones I go back to the list I made from the weaning info to make sure it was one of the ewes who's lambs died. Depending on when and how the lamb died, I decide whether I keep mom for a second chance. I also have been starting to cull for age... Now that I know pretty much when all my ewes were born, I can cull any that I feel are getting too old (checking teeth also a good way to test for age).

The rams are in their own pen and kept in this barn with the ewes. In the video, they are in the first 2 pens to the right of the centre feed alley.

I clean the barn before each group lambs, so about every 3 months. The pens not being used for lambing can go longer.

Hi👋 i have a question, if I was to start ship farming with a herd of 50 ewes. How many years will take me to reach a herd of 200?
@SandiBrock5 жыл бұрын
Well it depends on many things... conception rates, how many females are born and retained, and what your losses are... so some quick math... If 50 ewes lamb once per year and 50% are ewe lambs, and none die, thats 25 lambs that can add to your flock each year. 200/25=8. So thats 8 years. And your original flock will be on their way out... so the number is ever changing and evolving. So you can potentially speed up this process by lambing out your ewes more than once per year. Very rough math, but you kind of get the idea...
