god bless you and the farm. and my god bless you well.

[@patrickheaney5871]

Great video thank god for the good weather, anything over 10% is too many lamb's to lose, how are the heffers must be never calving now, fair play to Colm with the mayo jersey 💚❤️

[@Dennismelnychuk]

Great to see the weather is doing much better now. 12 to 20% is a huge loss, I've never gone more than 6% in my cattle but most years we are over 100% calf crop because of twins. The Sheep are on average 4% loss but with triples we've gone over 200% live crop at weaning.

[@sheepshepherd]

from scanning time yo when you sell them. ewes abort etc, its a long time till September. a few will die before then aswell.

[@belindareitz9873]

Well, your dad was hard to understand! But now it’s difficult to understand you as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Or the tree is not far from the so. All in jest. Just want to smile and enjoy the KZbin and give your family the advantage of funds or wealth. You’ve earned it, its just want to understand all conversations, please, smiles, B.

[@paddy294]

Cracking video as always

[@Ger1010]

Fair play for being so honest on the losses, cause it is reality..........the arseholes who tell ya they only lost 1or2 are full of BS

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

Great video/jobs Guys 👍 Glad the ☀️ has got it's hat on for ye 🌞 It's 💔 when the wee lambs loss their mum but you guy's save the day🥰 Will that 🦌 cause harm to the sheep🤔 I hope you got advice on electric fencing if not ask Adrian at We farm his knowledge is Ace👍 it was Adrian who recommended your channel to me👍 Big shout out to O'Neil's for their amazing equipment and quads, helping farm's like yours to tick over nicely 👍 Have a lovely day Guys ❤

Where did ye get the small spreader ,, looks like a handy machine to have

[@BoB10]

hi I was wondering does everyone have as much trouble with lambing as you are having, It seems very rough work you have to do, cheers to you and your dad, It's good the weather has dried up for a while ,,🌞☘

[@sheepshepherd]

the more sheep you have the more trouble, its not easy. yes of course they do.

[@ShapeAndCattle]

I counted 21 deer 🦌 grazing my hill in West Wicklow this weekend lad

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Native deer or Sica, supposed to be from Japan. It would be good to know how much TB is in both groups.

When a dead sheep goes to the knacker, what do they do with the carcass?

[@Coolcronan]

Hon Mayo....

[@Stephen-dd9xm]

You should do a video in the cows

[@caffrey9762]

Nice ta see the sun ☀️. Yas weathered the storm well 😁. been a tough " 9 months of weather" across the British Isles & Éire

[@shanecroke7682]

Would you be better off lambing a few weeks later. More grass and maybe better weather

[@vwvw4]

I was told by a vet, when first starting with sheep, over 2% mortality I should reassess my husbandry. But rare for anyone to lamb the numbers you do, in this area. I only ran 200 ewes and all lambed in the close pasture or in a barn, typically in May, so easy to do night checks every 2 hrs. and keep ewes with triplets/ quads/quints in lambing pens, so very low mortality. When you are lambing over a thousand and no shelter, the mortality is bound to go up. I've always been curious, do you not have better weather in May, then your grass is up and lambs are ready for market later, when the auctions have less lambs and better prices?

[@haggielady]

Have you had any TB test on the cows yet? Hopefully the deer stay away from them.

[@Mountjubilee_farm]

Did ya try the can of lynx spray both lambs heads and tails and on the ewes nose the ewe won’t be able to tell the difference between either lamb then between her own lamb and adopted lamb .

[@joepalmer7859]

When you’ve got two singles and your putting lambs on, the best thing is to swap their own lambs over. That way they’ve got two new lambs and don’t favour their own.

[@wendyrowland7787]

Sounds like a good plan.

[@camdig4385]

That looked to be young Sika stag, you could turn a coin selling the hunting of them hunters go mental for Sika stags. Really enjoyed your videos over lambing and feel for you with the weather struggles

[@georginapeers293]

Dad's brilliant but I wish he would wear the crash helmet when on the quad.

In warwickshier we don't here a cuckoo at all

[@emmett1739]

Cuckoos are singing delightfully this morning here in the North west of Ireland, they have been here a week and we love to here them. Mostly come from North Africa. Weather is better here and it has made farming easier, its been a tough spell.

[@stevewyb]

I think you’re way off with the 20% losses stat!! Im an average farmer lambing outside and if I lost 20/100 I’d pack it in!!

[@sheepshepherd]

thats from scanning time to whek they are sold. its fairly accurate tbh, you dont count them until you have money in pocket, plenty will doe from here till September

[@TifJones-p9z]

NZ lamb losses sit at around 15-18% with ewe losses at around 4.5% We lamb outside - lamb prices here are crap NZ$110 for a lamb at the market which is 61.08 EUR and cull ewes NZ$67 or 37.20 EUR they do not survive on sheep farming alone

[@tommitchell1826]

sheep prices here are good at the moment

[@rrfarming5537]

Agree ,sheep farming in nz is a race to the bottom.Throw in a drought and a loss for wool and its a complete shit show.

[@wendyrowland7787]

It really is disgraceful. Retired sheep farmer in Wales here. Just had a Sunday roast of Welsh lamb shoulder, it compared very badly with the quality NZ leg we had recently. You produce a consistent quality product that takes a lot of beating. I don’t understand why you are not getting a fair price.
