SAME LAMBS, DIFFERENT MART - WE MUST SELL THEM THIS WEEK

What's up guys!
We're back in a more familiar mart this week, Dowra in Cavan. We're continuing to sell lambs, some new lambs but also some lambs that we didn't sell in the last sale in Carrick!
We've already put alot of time and expense into selling them already so they need to go today.
Watch the video to see how we do!

This was a very good video. You are showing us he reality of it and it helps us understand a bit more about the hard job you do. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks Anita you're very good. 🔥

Greetings from Vermont in the States! Found you from Cammy's channel, can't wait to watch your videos. My family came over from Fermoy, Co. Cork in the mid 1800's, I hope to get back to Ireland soon for the fiber festivals. Best wishes to you!

[@ewetube.videos]

Thanks guys!

[@wendyrowland7787]

Good to see the safety rail for the auctioneer, I used to worry about ours falling into the pen at our mart - - - and possibly harming the sheep, and himself of course. I expect the ram lambs were sold as stores, difficult to finish well when they are complete.

[@ewetube.videos]

Sold as stores surely, I suppose with meal/grain being so expensive buyers are apprehensive about paying too much for them too. Cheers for watching Wendy. 🔥

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Karl and it’s good you got your lambs sold 👌

[@ewetube.videos]

Cheers Gary. 🔥

[@davidnicolson6443]

Good to see you got the laMBA sold this time those ewe lambs certainly had something about them. Great vlog

[@ewetube.videos]

I liked them myself David! Thanks for watching the video. 🔥

Great video Karol. All good seeing the UK marts from other KZbinrs but I prefer the Irish ones 😉

[@ewetube.videos]

Lucky for you, you get to enjoy both Eamon. 😂🔥

[@brendanl3071]

good video Karol, you did well in Dowra . dont spend it all in the one day ;)

[@ewetube.videos]

I'll try not to Brendan. 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@firstlight7419]

Good points made after the ram lambs sold

[@ewetube.videos]

Thank you 🥰

[@kieranod9215]

You got mighty prices altogether. Here down in kerry the prices have come down altogether from last year. You’d be lucky to get £2.50 a kilo , last year we can’t complain they were very good , might have to make the long haul up to Cavan😂 . What weight were the last bunch you sold with purple on the pole?

[@ewetube.videos]

Not fully Kieran, they didn't weigh them. Probably 37 or 38kg. It'd be interesting to see how you do!

[@kaye-q1k]

Farming is the only business where you produce a product then ask the buyer what do you want to pay me for it. Which we could do that with all our purchases especially machinery.

If you have people say like subscribe, and if they leave an even or an emoji and no message, it helps you in the showing your showed other people harvest analytics. She’ll try that you’re not saying try that.

[@ewetube.videos]

Ah if they enjoy the vids usually they'll subscribe anyways Jeanette. 😁

[@JohntyNich]

If it’s any consolation you’d have made more money shearing than you lost getting them weaned. It’s always tough when trade dips.

[@ewetube.videos]

I suppose you're right John, nice to be able to do the job of farming right aswell though!

[@WestRidgeFARM]

Thanks for sharing, very interesting to see an auction sale in another country, its not that different to ours. Steve

There are many refinements of managing livestock.

There sure is!

Most certainly James, there's highs and lows in this game. 🔥

[@martinhogan215]

Well done, did you ever run a blue leicester on your ewes

[@ewetube.videos]

Cheers Martin, no. I think they're just a bit soft for our system I'm afraid!

[@mrs.henderson7602]

Love watching the sales. TU

[@ewetube.videos]

You're welcome. 🥰

[@annahkurtin5345]

I appreciate your videos, your sheep and all the work you do but.... Mooknit? I can't rest until I see what You knit from cow's hair.

[@ewetube.videos]

We don't use cows hair or sheeps wool in the merch Annah. 😅 They're normal, good quality cotton/polyester hoodies. Hoping to bring out some wool products down the line though!

[@annahkurtin5345]

@@ewetube.videos I know. I apologize for being a twit but as a farm girl I had to chuckle at the thought of knitting a sweater from cow hair. It would be nearly as fine as frog hair, I suppose.

[@robthomas3968]

That was a big difference can you tell us why?

[@ewetube.videos]

Luck of the draw Rob! A couple of people liked the dear bunch so they went higher on them.

[@georgedoorley5628]

is there any reason why you do not squeeze the ram lambs in the month of august ?

[@ewetube.videos]

We have found grow faster not squeezed George, we sell then as stores and try to get them as good as we can before they're sold.

Were u in Sligo yesterday

[@ewetube.videos]

In the town Corey? Yeah.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Are sheepskins popular with Europeans? Would it be worth it to pre-sell some yourself? Sold in whole, halves or quarters?

[@ewetube.videos]

The factories would keep the skins and sell them generally Kenyon. 👍

[@kenyonbissett3512]

@@ewetube.videos I was thinking of local slaughterhouses.

Is Dowra mart not in Leitrim?

Dowra itself is on the border, maybe it is! The address they use is Fairgreen, Dowra, Co. Cavan.
