Selling 226 lambs at ONE SALE!!

[@chrisholds1]

I'm always fascinated by your sheepdogs & how effective the are in helping you (good girl, Meg! 🙂). It was particularly interesting to see them work as a team.

[@tiffanysweat5395]

Sell em! You guys have so much going on, having over 400 lambs is a lot of extra work. Lizzie being out with the new babe makes it a little tougher, but nothing you can handle. YOU’RE DOING FANTASTIC SIR.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Tiffany very kind!

[@terrimoore5181]

So happy you got a good price! Congratulations on that new baby!

Love watching the gentleman at the sale separate the lambs they are so amazing. It’s almost like it’s no effort. I’m sure it is but if your good at what you do looks effortless.

[@colleenkopp56]

GREAT!! You did very well! So happy for you and Lizzy! Your hard work is paying off. Do you two ever have any time to yourselves? All work and no play is not healthy. You both need to be good to yourselves! Time to have some fun!! Greetings from Northern California! It's Saint Patrick's Day and I am Irish. Unfortunately to old to go to the Pub so celebrating from home!! Good on ya!!!

Really enjoy how positive your videos are Cammy. No snivelling and woe is me just "this is farming and let's get on with it". Glad you were able to get the prices you were hoping for, looking forward to more of your content this year. Maybe the shorts you put on facebook could also be uploaded to youtube, to keep your channel growing? I don't know the ins and outs of that but I certainly think you deserve more viewers!

You are a very industrious person, working hard to provide for your family. I know Lizzy is a big part of that too. Noticed you are over 250k subs! You’ve worked hard for that as well.

[@jessealexander4329]

I actually shipped 226 head Friday to New Holland PA USA. They sell on Monday. Hopefully they will be properly cared for until I get there on Sunday evening. I am nervous but my N C Cheviot lambs usually sell towards the top of the sale. I have been holding these lambs waiting for the price to get better but a lot of them are over 100# and need to go.

[@tamnoneedforalastname6775]

Would like to know how you do at New Holland. I usually ship to Greencastle

[@jessealexander4329]

@@tamnoneedforalastname6775 New Holland scares me but they do have a lot of ethnic buyers there. I sent my load on Friday because they sell in the order that they arrive. I worry that later in the sale a lot of the buyer will have their orders full. I will go down Sunday to make sure that they have hay and water. Some of the help there is pretty sketchy. I don't like sending a whole tractor trailer load at once but I am about 6 hours north of there and it would be too expensive to run a gooseneck each week for a couple months. The higher fuel prices will hopefully keep the western lambs from showing up. Greencastle is owned by Jeff Craig who seems like a good guy.

Good luck 🤞 with the sale.

@@tamnoneedforalastname6775 Hey Tam. My lambs sold last night. My heaviest wt. pen (115# average) sold for $2.25. My lightest pen (75#) brought $2.80. They sold well compared to other lambs but they were the best large groups of lambs there. The buyers preferred the thick Cheviot type eastern lambs over the western range types and hair lambs. Unfortunately the Muslims had gone outside to pray while my lambs went through the ring or I might have got a little more.

Nineteen different field locations, and the incomparable Superwoman Lizzie now with a new baby as well as a very active toddler - no wonder you want to winnow down your lambs! I'm please for you both that you obtained a good average sale price. I hope the next set does at least as well. Are you planning to continue sheep farming with the multiple variety of breeds you have, or are you planning to focus on fewer breeds in the future?

Your sale yards are so well set up and organized. We get a little sorting here, but not that specific. How many buyers would you see at your sales? Here we often only have two to maybe five so if they find all they need before your lambs hit the ring the prices can drop badly.

[@TheSheepGame]

There would be at least 5 big buyers at this sale. The biggest buyer in the UK was there that day and he can't be filled up so no worries about that really. Our fat price has now dropped so the rest of my lambs will need to stay a bit longer.
