Still when animals depend upon you, one just has to pull up one’s boot straps and do the job.
Zwartbles Ireland is a small company run from a farm in County Kilkenny in Ireland. We are a regenerative farm which means restoring soils health and regenerating its natural carbon and nutrient cycle with biodiversity of pasture sward with grasses, legumes, forbs and herbs. This also means we farm with nature. Healthy soils are important for healthy environment. So we encourage all life from the microbial to dung beetles, ants, pollinators to flora biodiversity, birds, hare, hedgehogs, rabbits, fox, badger as well as our livestock. This mean we farm in a style of mob grazing and giving fields long rest times between grazings. We have seen a huge increase and return of wildlife including woodcock and snipe in winter months foraging for dung beetle larvae, red squirrel, wood peckers and pine martens. We also have the rare natter bat and previously thought extinct Tawny Mining bees.
We sell, Zwartbles sheep, Zwartbles blankets and yarn made from the sheep, and calendars featuring Inca the World’s Smallest Sheepdog and her coworkers. We also sell alpaca yarn spun for our own alpaca. Our yarns are 100 percent natural, grown by our sheep which grazing our small green Irish fields. This wool is naturally sequestered carbon which you can then knit into warm environmental friendly clothing.

I understand where you’re coming from…hopefully, soon your neck pain will ease up and permanently be a thing of the past!
I do understand. Physio caused me a great deal of pain after spinal surgery
Hi Mustard and Thyme!
I feel your pain Suzanna! Though I have not yet had PRP because the doctor isn’t sure it would help me and wants me to try some other things first. Meanwhile, pain sure makes life more challenging! You inspire me to carry on. 💫💫💫
I here you! I feel for you! I had back surgery in September. I have 1 dog to care for. Luckily there are many options for healing now. Wishing you Well❤️🩹 Suzanne 🪷🙏🏻📿 Cheers for your nightcap!🥃
I have been eating carnivore just fatty red meat and Celtic salt because of a neck injury. Been 9 months now and the pain has gone away. It is the best I have felt in decades
Chronic pain sucks ,hope you get some rest .💚☘️🤗
Susan, I am agreeing with you in prayer for healing in Jesus' name amen. 🙏🙌
Chronic daily pain is very hard to stick day after day. I have chronic mouth pain after a car accident 5 yrs ago. I hope the physio that you are having is helping your neck. 🍀🍀
I didn't know that discs could be healed. I have had arthritis in my neck because of scoliosis since I was 20. I plan ro look into finding some relief now. Thank you.

Hope that you can get some solid sleep in. Real beggar about the slow healing. Whatever works.
Huge sympathy to you. After many years of farm work and a bad fall from a horse, I, too, have skeletal pain. That's animal husbandry as they always need care no matter how we feel
It's not easy to live with pain but thank goodness you are doing better! Keeping the heat in is a good step! Prayers for healing being sent your way! Maybe no sympathy from the alpacas, but we are all sending some in your direction!! You go girl!
Hoping the physio helps and you get relief!
I hope the physio helps quickly, Susanna.
Heat packs and chill packs in rotation can help. And a good, supportive pillow for sleep!
(I've got chronic pain most of my life, spinal disease… (take care when twisting, lifting etc.,so easy to cause pain to return 💕)
Wishing you some alleviating from it – I am in awe of all your hard work despite the pain
