Pregnancy Scanning Early Lambing Sheep and asking why!

[@CaemanPadgett]

I don't get tired of watching the scanning videos. I watch your videos as well as the other sheep (and cow) videos because I like learning about the work that goes into taking care of the animals by people who are truly committed to their health and well being. I don't just enjoy the humor, although it is always welcome...I think it's important to talk about the hardships and the frustrations as well. Thank you for all you do!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Maureen!

I am 46- a girl and learned to weld. I was in high school in 90’s - BIG HAIR- also I was first girl who took *metal shop* at the trade school. 💃🏻 😉First day I walked into class, the teacher, in front of the entire class, asked me if I was in the wrong room- this was metal shop. Yup- I reassured him I was aware of my location and choice. He wondered how that hair would fair with a welding helmet and ⚡️ sparks- it survived well. So I learned ARC, MIG, TIG, and gas welding. I took two years of metal shop in total. It was fun. My favourite method of welding 🥽 was ARC- there’s just something about that bead that’s beautiful and I love the flow and timing of arc. I liked TIG but it is quite difficult to adapt too and you can burn through so easily if you don’t watch your speed and flow. We only learned on aluminium- as it’s great for low temp welds. It’s got such a pleasant color and quietness to it- but difficult without practice I just never got on with MIG which is most people’s favourite- it was too messy for me. I guess MIG welders don’t mind the grind ;) Some don’t enjoy using sticks but this girl does My dad used to have a brass cannon I created on a lathe and a coupe samples of my beads on display. He was a welder too. Sheep Fan in Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸 👋 Oh and those beads pass inspection for the purpose- nice and clean- I only saw one small hole which is outstanding with a mig for that light metal. I’d have melted the whole dang thing with a mig 😂

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. I never realized how many breeds of sheep there are. You obviously love the sheep & are very knowledgeable about the different breeds. I hope you are staying warm over there. Take care.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Alice, Rains came in today so all the snow is gone

[@carolb3122]

You always seem so happy and upbeat with a big smile. You made me smile as well, even when it’s only 5 degrees Fahrenheit here in the Chicago area. Our poor wee Papillon/Chihuahua freezes his feet. (Can’t keep booties on him). So we make his time outside as quick as we can. Good video.

[@TheSheepGame]

😊 thank you. Not easy for the wee dog. Hopefully it doesn't last too long!

[@kmpage333]

I'm from Texas and Oklahoma and learned to weld in high school. I used to have a trailer with hooks on it for panels. It was great! Very handy for gathering animals and also for camping with horses.

[@TheSheepGame]

A very useful skill that is to have, does sound like a handy trailer too.

[@dustycows]

The welds on the seat look good. It’s got a nice base now. I like the panels that tilt down to match the angle of the trailer ramp. I think I might copy the design and try to make a few. I’m sure glad our corona restrictions aren’t anywhere near what y’all have going on over.

[@heatherd212]

Awwww I would have liked to watch the scanning 😔 check out the screen and see the tiny heartbeats.

[@Schoonebeekers]

As I have read Cammy, the blue Texel is originated from a white Texel around 1968 at a breeder in Friesland from a 3-ling (2 white-1 blue) This is a recessive color variant (blue factor) I also read that around 1900 🇳🇱 farmers cross english varieties to improve the Texel. The varieties were Cotswold / Hampshire Down / Lincoln / Wensleydale. The first two dropped out, disappointing results, the other two were bred further, perhaps hence the blue factor. PS. was afraid that you were no longer allowed in with your wife (caravan). 🤣

Thanks Remco! We’ve made up now!

It would be nice if you showed us at least 1 scan in your trailer with your new seat. I'm quite interested in scanning and would like to understand more about it. Everyone seems to have a different setup. And thanks for introducing new breeds where you show them in a flock, unlike the 1 still, 1 view, like you are likely to find looking on the internet.

I must admit I do like Texels. Produces a nice sharp looking lamb that has size and shape. The great thing about sheep is we have plenty to choose from to find what we like 😀
