Preparing For The Next Group Of Lambs

[@JuvieJones]

WOW.. Alexander has gotten so big!!

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good morning Arnie and Lynn. Aww. Don’t you just love how cute Maizey is with all her curiosity. I am so glad Alexander is still at the farm. Love love love the lamb races❤❤❤❤. A beautiful owl keeping the barn free of pigeons. So cute in the lamb feeder. Nibbling at the hay and grain. Look at those little feet and nose. That lamb is saying let me out it’s tight in here. A fuzzy head. Scotty is purring away. He’s happy too. Licking and loving and talking to her baby. Yummy warm milk from mommy as well. She popped that lamb out almost like popcorn😂. Hope the adoption works. My fingers are crossed. Wow some big snowflakes. What a huge job moving those sheep. Yikes. An escapee tgat probably wishes that it didn’t jump over with all that noise. Thanks for all the excitement today. Big big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉❤️❤️❤️

Maisie and her frothy milk “moustache,” at the beginning lol. It’s funny near the end I was thinking, “wow we see 30 minutes and seems to go by so fast.” Yet you both put in a whole day. Much more than a typical 8 hour work day for many. The exhaustion must be real. Only loving what you do would get you through I believe. THANK YOU!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

It was a busy day but it all went smoothly so it was all good!😁

[@tanyahunter9369]

Maisie, the strong willed lamb. 😂❤

[@jocastaguyon6857]

It did NOT look like you had an easy day, lol… it looked incredibly busy, especially with all the moves and don’t forget the owl prowl! Great video.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks. It felt good to get so much accomplished and the ewes moved so much easier than last year! 🙂

[@davilynwentzel9551]

Oh Maisey. She’s such a cutie. Of course she wants to play around, and explore new adventures, new things.🐑 Lots of sheep moving on a snowing day.😂 Hoping the three rams settle down and behave. Thanks for sharing with us.

Cute Owl 🦉💙🤍🤎 Cute little Lamby playing

Good morning! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@pattiepowell2572]

Ou both have so much compassion and understanding of the sheep

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thanks 🙂

[@helendaughenbaugh8302]

Such a busy day! Great video Lynn & Arnie. Absolutely love the 30 day mark on the lambs, you can really see the conformation shining thru on the star lambs. Just beautiful. Completely "Enjoyed" this video

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thank you!🥰🥰

[@claymonsterpottery]

Those little toes! Loved seeing Angels lambs yesterday. Could give them angel names like Gabriel or something? 😂 Hope you’re staying warm.

[@susanmarsh4351]

2024 is a M name year.

[@raeboyd5596]

Then Michael is a good angel name

[@pattiepowell2572]

Mazie idher own person the rest of the lambs have grown so much. Love the owl. Thanks for sharing your 🌎

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I love it when we encounter owls too!

Looking at the Lambs 🏁 Racing I can hear 🎉The Kentucky Derby 🎉 And They're OFF😅 🐏 🐑 5:13

[@susanmarsh4351]

Busy busy day. All hands on deck. So glad to see Alexander again and hasn’t he grown up quickly? He certainly is focused on survival. I bet you were both tired but pleased the great sheet migration was successfully completed. It is stressful but ultimately satisfying. This seasons lambs seem really ready for creep feeding. They have started with greater numbers than 2023. If fact looking back 2024 is outperforming 2023 on all markers. It really is a stellar year. All the work in preparation and new routines has really paid off in spades. And Maisie is such a cutie. Living in the large barn space will help her learn to be a sheep. Are the Suffolk lambs extra special this year? Nowhere near as many mottled coats either.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

So far, I am liking this year's lambs a lot. We'll see if they continue this way. We staggered the groups a little more this year. It makes for a longer lambing season but at a much better pace for just two people. We also have younger sheep this year as we culled harder last year and that makes for healthier sheep having lambs.

[@justinanovak8040]

Nice that the change to spread out lambing is paced better for you both.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

@justinanovak8040 yes, I am liking lambing so much more this year 🙂

[@pathowes32]

So glad to see the kittens. The owl was splendid! Hope the mama take the triple lamb. You and Arnie did have a busy day

[@elizabethswanson7767]

I enjoy watching you guys while I have my coffee! I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. I will see you tomorrow. How is Bloody Mary doing? ❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

She and her mom are all well 🙂

[@elizabethswanson7767]

@@EwetopiaFarms good to hear

[@KS-ip5xn]

Moving and loading sheep can be so frustrating sometimes. It looked like it went pretty well this time. Maisy the explorer has a new area to check out now. 😉

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it went way smoother than last year which was a nightmare!😄

[@rebeccazody1278]

Mazey is precious. These more educational videos are really good too. Thank you

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Thank you 🙂

[@raeboyd5596]

What a busy day moving lambs snd mamas and expecting mamas, and so many other things to enjoy actually petting alexander, your beautiful visiting owl, angel feet, the beautiful snow and sunset. What a wonderful way to start my day with sheep baaas.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@Mary-F]

What a great birthing vid! Love the way you both handle it with such care and patience. Beautiful big lamb too. 🐑 The owl is gorgeous. Wildlife seem to know you guys are in their corner. 🦉 Maisie is so precious with her adventurous personality. 🥰 I’m keeping fingers Xd the last ewe will adopt the little one, but it looks tenuous. 🐑 Love your snowy day, Lynn! Makes me wish I could move back to Alberta! ❄️😁

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Alberta weather is so tough though. I loved it there but it is much easier in Ontario.

[@MaryannDeming]

Very busy day, was it easier moving the sheep and lambs with the trailer? loved the Owl.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Yes, it is easier in the snow with the trailer.

[@gregedmand9939]

Well now! I'm very glad to have followed the bread crumbs from Sandy Brock... To Cammy Wilson.... To Ewetopia! This is just my second video visit and I will be definitely coming her frequently. After looking up where your farm is, I was delighted to find it in my favourite part of Ontario. I have many fond memories from my many courses at CFB Kingston and my ex-wife's father grew up on a dairy farm near Gananoque.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Wow, that's neat. We are totally in that area. Hope you can watch us on a daily basis instead of just dropping in occasionally 😉 Thanks for watching 🙂

[@cindyboard7816]

Your video today documented how busy you were perfectly!! Moving all those sheep, some having lambs would make for a full day of hard work. I hope you guys had a quiet evening and were able to get some rest!!! Best wishes with the adoption, it didn't look too promising by the mom's body language, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!!🙏❤

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Stay tuned for tomorrow's video 😉🥰

Thank you! 20K is pretty exciting but not there yet!😁

[@MaryDivis-nu1im]

Little Lynny had a lamb It's fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Lynny went Maisey was sure to go (particularly if involved jumping on hay bales and into feeders). 😁

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Love it!😁😁🥰

[@kathybradbury]

Just love the snowy white of the Dorset lambs! I wonder if a handful of grain would help with loading/ offloading sheep? I’d keep a container in the cab for such occasions! Looks really cold! Great shot of the owl!

[@EwetopiaFarms]

Grain works sometimes but for loading not so much. They did really good loading this year though. The best lure is their lambs. Then they load themselves 😆

[@kathybradbury]

@@EwetopiaFarms yeah, that looked like it went smooth with the lambs. Maybe just unloading sometimes…I can imagine if you tried to offer grain to load they’d stop right at the entry.

[@EwetopiaFarms]

[@LadyLithias]

Hey my lovely friend. I apologize in advance..... I need to vent and the livestreams I normally go to are all done for the night. Alas, it's been an abysmal day. The good news is my sheep are doing great. It's so much more enjoyable visiting the girls now that there's no ram to contend with. :) *Edit* #1: I know Cami's boy is a little Cami-in-miniature.... do you think he'll stay spotty like she did? But life as a teacher has gotten very hard. I just want you to know, Lynn, I have to sometimes vent, and you're elected. But you can swipe on by and ignore this. If I have any video questions, I'll edit and add.... as I'm only starting your video. (Because the net-censors at work won't allow me to watch your content). After a horrible day at work, I got home, and our internet was down. Then the router wouldn't let me log in to KZbin. And it was two full hours after I got home before I could do my normal relaxing. Which is part of my day most times, but super important when I've had a tough day at work, which made it very problematic indeed. Kids nowadays are all "damaged" by Covid. And here in the United States we've had leadership at the highest level that are "Professional victims" so the fact that kids and parents want to always blame others for their own failures is a problem. Particularly as learning is a very focused activity that comes to a halt when one expects others to do the work. One must be an active part of learning to actually learn. I believe that it helps my students to "connect" with me, as a teacher, if they feel like I'm human. I try to findways to connect with kids as much as possible. Whether it's through sports or arts or whatever. I really LIKE being a unique individual, and I have always felt as if I might have done much better in school, particularly math (which I now teach) if I'd had teachers with character. I remember the geometry teacher at my high school,they had all kinds of things in their classroom that I found fascinating. But I never made it to that class. I had a robotic teacher who said ONE personal thing in an entire school year. I failed. And failed all the other math classes too. So I try to overcom that obstacle when and where possible. This year the kids are worse-broken than any previous group of kids post-covid. But we have a lot of "entitled" students who are used to the way the system has given them preferential treatment their entire education. We in the high school believe this is bad, and we make ALL the kids take the same math class. Hoi-polloi mixing with the kids that have nothing. The privileged kids (their parents) don't like this. They think they should have a special treatment. They're taking the class that the privileged kids have always taken as freshmen, but it bothers them mightily that they have to be in the same class as the lesser kids. And the way the kids are broken this year is that they honestly don't know how to learn. These are the kids who have been so used to math being easy that they believe that if it's hard, it must be the teacher's fault. And this year's parents are very supportive of this. So when a kid tells the parents that Mrs. Sasheena is being awful to them, they believe it. Even if what they are being told is a packet of lies, exagerrations, and fantasy. And now the parents just categorically want to believe that their cherished kids have the ability and are being held back. But if kids don't LEARN how to learn, don't learn how to knuckle down and DO THE HARD work, they'll never amount to much. I got a nasty-gram from a parent saying how awful it is that ONCE in half a school year I graded something that the child felt was unfair and that I did not see the same way. (We're talking approximately one point out of 1000, in a category worth a sliver of a percent of their whole grade).... and how awful that I was unwilling to do tech support on the LAST day of the semester when I had 90 days of notebook to check for each child (thirty kids, 45 minutes. Tech support isn't my thing. (not when I have a set goal on a specific day, and zero days left to reorganize my schedule). Mom says kid says I'm not teaching at all, while simultaneously I'm feeling guilty for the amount of teaching I do (curriculum calls for groupwork, I don't do it, I do direct instruction nearly 90% of the time). Anyway.....There's a reason teachers burn out. If I could afford it, I'd quit. But my family just can't take a 75% loss in income which would be likely if I tried to get a regular everyday-person job. (High poverty, low opportunity area). I'm the sole income for my family, and I can't just quit, even though I'm past my expiration date. Dang it..... sheep are so much more simple, evne with their headaches, than students are. Anyway.... to ANYONE who read my entire rant, thank you. .

QUESTION: Why is the one ewe by herself?

[@EwetopiaFarms]

She lost her lamb si she is free to roam where she wants until we take her to the Coveralls

[@jamesdack61]

do you do the vit E booster at 5 to 8 weeks

[@EwetopiaFarms]

No, they get selenium/E at 2 days old and that's it

[@EwetopiaFarms]

They get colostridial diseases shots though with booster and then yearly
