That Came Round Fast - Summertime At Last

Welcome back to Sheep School where everyday with sheep is a school day! In today's video, we dive into the ups and downs of sheep farming during the silage season. After all the rain, our neighbour has finally started cutting silage, but we encountered some unexpected challenges with our sheep. Our flock managed to escape through a hole in the fence, and we had to act quickly to get them back and we move them to fresh grass for their upcoming vaccinations. Join us for a day filled with sheep herding adventures, field maintenance, and prepping our lambs and ewes for their health checks. We also share insights into our Texel lambs and discuss the importance of good genetics in sheep farming. You'll see our trusty sheepdog, Robbie, in action, helping us manage the flock and keeping things under control. Plus, a bit of unexpected mud drama adds to the excitement as we navigate the challenges of farming in the Midlands of Ireland. Thanks for watching, see you next time...
