SUFFOLK VS LLEYN, WHICH LAMBS ARE PERFORMING BETTER?

[@patpierce4854]

Keep in mind many of us in your audience, are not farmers but we’re here to learn more about our food. I remember your A flock is pedigree Lleyns, and your B flock mums are for producing lamb for the food chain. It would be helpful to show your different tups side by side, and then compare their lambs side by side and explain how you can distinguish their sires based on the differences us non farmers aren’t yet cued in to notice. Still, I’m tickled your ewes and lambs are doing so well, after the floods and continual wet.

Great comment I watch Cammy from Ayrshire - The Sheep Game I watch Sandi Brock in 🇨🇦 We must support our farmers NO FARMERS NO FOOD I think the school curriculum should be changed Teach the kids about life. How to create bank account. How to budget. Explain mortgages etc AND Teach them that food does not come from MCDONALDS They need to learn life and reality 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍 👍 😍

Great comment!!

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Hi Pat Will definitely include this in videos to cone

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Those lambs look great! Great job Will and great video.

[@paulthompson8467]

Impressive weight gains the Suffolk seems a good cross with the lleyn hope the full time farming works out ok 👍

[@Doubledazzlers]

I started lambing in march with Dutch spotted sheep and they were about 15-20kg love the vids keep it up

[@doreenbunker234]

What super lamps, well done, great to see them growing so well.

[@parishsuffolks924]

Great lambs l think it's fair 2 sa there s room for a Suffolk ram in every flock no matter what you breed preferences u will find your Suffolk cross will b first in your wallet so enjoy them they won't b around for long great video

[@saragayle2217]

Great video, the lambs are looking so good ❤

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Thank you! 😊

[@joyceedhammerschmith6051]

Interesting and informative. I have to use subtitles but are still having trouble of clints and cleans?? Maybe you could run the final video and see what we get with the accent and transitions.

[@heather8303]

You normally introduce your offsider. Who are you working with today?

[@habslover2306]

Her name is Robyn. Will introduced her in a previous video as an employee on the farm.

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Sorry yes it’s Robyn 😊

[@KenMcKinnon-c4r]

Great info. Scientific approach does provide reliable evidence of the best breeding.

[@Salomaeful]

Great video - I'm curious to know whether the best performers were all singles?

[@CowleyHillFarm]

I will look at this more in depth

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Will have to have a more in-depth look

[@agronarayan]

Very sweet

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Interesting to see your comparison. The drone shots showed how bad your fields were wet and some fields still under water.

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Yeh unfortunately but we just have to crack on

[@connellaing-go6qk]

Have u looked at a nice proformance recorded Hampshire? We are blown away with with the ease of lambing and growth rates when crossed to Perth type blackface ewes running the hill ground

[@CowleyHillFarm]

We were going to try one but their sales are at a weird time of year so there wasn’t much choice by Septemberr

[@rogerbarnfield5913]

Good vlog one thing I want to ask are they all twins are a mix of twins an singles because a single will have a lot more milk to go at than a set of twins

[@CowleyHillFarm]

They’re a mix of the two. Would be interesting to pull them out and compare just the twins

[@rogerbarnfield5913]

I think it would aswell and another vlog for you aswell just to compare the weights between both lots of lambs

[@colinwientjens1871]

On the current growth rate, how long till you’ll be turning them off?

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Hope to get some away in 2-3 weeke

[@raymondwarrington9950]

Hi Will, did you weigh the lambs individually at birth or just use an average weight?

[@CowleyHillFarm]

I weighed a few and took averages for singles/twin etc

[@harrymclachlan5472]

Charollaise sheep will get you a better shape easily with the right breeder 😊

[@CowleyHillFarm]

An aberblack is half charolais half Suffolk

[@Sandra-A]

10:48 did I hear a peacock?

[@CowleyHillFarm]

We do have a peacock

[@Sandra-A]

@@CowleyHillFarm aww you must show at one point. Gorgeous animals 🦚

[@thomasevans5491]

Those 32kg need to be sold worth 140 at that weight

[@CowleyHillFarm]

I’ll get them finished first but won’t be long

[@shaynelammas9413]

You have to admit that that the Aberblack Lambs are Suffolk Lambs are far better than your Clun Lambs Will. Kiwi Shayne in the UK 👌

[@CowleyHillFarm]

As a fat lamb, yes they kill out slightly better. But as a dual purpose I'd pick the lleyn any day

[@briantaylor467]

Why don't you put a❤n abberblack ❤ram onto some mule ewes mate

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Just my opinion but I wouldn’t touch mules with a barge pole. Way better to breed your own replacements than buying ewes in every year
