Hello everyone welcome back to the channel once again it hasn’t been the greatest start to this week I’m not going to lie we in the middle of storm which is pretty much the whole the don’t want to do that is going start which is pretty much the whole of

The UK and that’s why I’m in the load all we’ve got the mot grab on and that is because we have had I don’t know if it’s a tree or Branch full on the electric fence so that is where I’m off now but on top of that we’ve had a marvelous weekend I

Have had a dog worrying incident mommy come on momy I know it’s yes frustrating and top it off as proven by a lot of things things do happen in freeze if you remember in the first scanning video we had that U that was scanned with two dead LS inside I’ve

Gone over today we’re going to shed them off from the use on Wednesday Today is Monday and she was dead so she did the sheet thing hope you enjoy don’t forget to like subscribe I’m sure this week is going to pick up but it can’t get too much Worse right so this is a probably a big branch falling off onto electric fence that post is going to be useless now but yeah obviously I’m not strong enough to lift that so got the mut grab we are just going to lift it back into

The field and leave it for now it’s not the driest although we’re traveling fairly well I don’t want to make a mess so we’ll pop it back in the field and I’ll come back up in probably a month’s time or after l in and come and sort it out

Now that’s going to be fairly useful Now isn’t it all right P that there that looks far better only problem is we manag to snap the metal wire on the bottom it’s not the in the world good job done fence fixed not going to say sheep aren’t going to get

Out but there’s electric on it now right we are back 24 hours later and we are in with the ax sky has kindly set the wrapper up absolutely smashed it for the first time whil I went and got the trailer because go the long way around

But yeah we’re at the bog and the reason we’re here the call Price so this is age use or older use has gone through the roof this week because there isn’t many about plan is we’re going to try and cash in a little bit we’ve got all the

Baring use they’re basically they’re not making us any money they’re not in L they’re just grazing the grass that we desperately need for these as they grow in the L inside them so right we’re going to take the punt we normally wait till the festival season so e Ramadan

All that until we send them we’re going to send them now because there’s such a shortage and we’re going to keep them they’re costing us money we’ve got probably 17 18 maybe even 20 Barons in here they’re not all quite fit enough to

Go but if we can get a dozen maybe 14 if we’re lucky they basically double the price by what people have been telling me to what they were a couple of weeks ago so we’re going to cash in all we got to do though is get them in and shed

Them off and at the start of the video it was that windy we’re fetching the tree off there it’s been even windier over the last 24 hours I hardly slept last night I just couldn’t get to SLE With the Wind rattling Coro um but thankfully no more damage touchwood on the

Farm uh it is drying this wind does dry so that’s one positive thing about it um right I hope you’re in a good mood today you’re going to get these sheep in right down right now that is um in I’ll just explain what’s in here basically we’ve got the

Be lock we have the late lamin a flocks the ones that didn’t get tupped in their first cycle which came around and all the ones with red marks on are the Barons so they’re the ones that haven’t got Lambs there’ll be a mixture of both

Flocks so when I said 17 18 they’re not all from one flock that’s from all the Sheep on the farm they might not even be quite that I can’t remember if top there might be a bit more might be less but we’re going to shed them off all the

Barons go in the trailer the rest are going back out to grazing um as said before and for those people that keep asking there was two or three might been more than Barbie is in here and she’s having triplets this year so this is her third lot of lambs she had triplets twins

Triplets and she is a quad to S so for a you that’s not meant to be that well performing she’s not bad is she get that there right scy just like scanning if you just pushing to in I’ll shed them up There right this batch of sheep these are jeice to start Ling on the 17th of March whereas the other batch 17th of Feb so they’re a month after Congo good go right right car Girls right that is them all loaded up they’re not escaping anything are they I hate it when sheep all run as a group because you think they’re going to escape that is sheep what are we saying so I’ll give you the camera Sky you hold that there is one in here if you

Remember we res scan them and it’s scanned with a single and it wasn’t baren kick that one out obviously we don’t want it gone and then I’ll have a quick count there’s a lot less in here than I thought to be fair here you go you no one else

Oh and she runs that way off she goes now plan is get a count up I’m going to fill the backs if they’re fit I’m going to get them gone if they’re not so fit I’m going to Chuck them in with a fat Lambs them a couple of weeks and then

Get them gone when I get the last of the fat LS gone but to be fair to him been kind of lucky we chucked him on two decent fields of grass before they go in so they should have put a decent bit of condition on I’m hoping they look like

This guy there’s only this like odd one at the front and there might be another one at the back or two they’re looking decent FAL you’re not that bad you’re like a tank there’s free you see that’s got to go it’s not the fittest but that’s got a growth inside so we

Want that g one two 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 so I was a bit wrong there’s 15 in here basically to 300 use or just under 300 use um that’s 5% it’s a bit higher than what I’d like it it’s definitely

Higher than what I’d like it but you got to remember a couple of those I’m not going to lie of those U Lambs that had Lambs just haven’t put condition on and then we’ve got a couple of older girls and then there’s a couple definitely should be lamp and there’s a couple that

Have never been tued I’m trying to be a lot stricter with breathing so getting use like this out the flock there might be an odd nice sh in there that someone might want to try uh to but for me when we l at this time year

We want them in lamb and that is also why you’re looking at these shes here remember I said there was about 20 in the A Flock that were Ling late so I’m going to downgrade them into the B flock this year I’m going be really strict so

If a u doesn’t get in lamb in the first cycle from now on they going be downgraded and hopefully doing that over years to come they should all be tied to lambing they should all get in Lamb better and just improve the fertility I’m going to give the abatar a call say

We’ve got a dozen Co use 12 Co use I was just wondering if you were after any yeah that’s fine yeah Sunday works for me they are going to have them Sunday it’s now Wednesday I was hoping they’d take them today but I’m not going to

Complain it’s this week um so I’m going to drop the threee that I’ve marked with orange in with the fat Lambs just to get fed up a bit and then the other 12 we’re going to drop off in the field by the handling system so easy to get in and get gone some Sunday free use in with the fat Lambs they are actually starting to come on quite a bit those poor ones so happy that um and thankfully no damage done from the dog wearing incident they are all bit muddy but apart from that thankfully no serious damage to be fair after dropping that 12

Off they don’t look they don’t look like a bad bunch of use one of them was that one that had a C-section last year so another reason behind one not getting them all these little things add up and that’s why we don’t want to be keeping those breed replacements for because the

More of that those poor genetics you keep in the fck you’re going to build it up and it’s only going to go one way and it’s not good right we are onto a little bit of shed clearance work now ready for the trip plets to come in at the weekend

Won’t be long George is just doing bars I’ve been shifting some pallets we’re going to leave that for the next video but for the end of the video I have an absolutely huge huge announcement I’m so so excited because I tried to do this before four years ago and I didn’t

Succeed so for a lot of people you probably haven’t heard of it if you’re not from the UK but the UK has something called the national sheep Association and they run an ambassador course or um an ambassador experience for the Next Generation you have to apply for it and

Only 12 people in the UK get onto that and guess what I got on to it this year second time of asking can’t wait we’ve got some in February so we’re going around all different farms around the country we’re going local North umberland Cumbria uh down to Devon to

See loads of different sheet Farms I’m going to take you guys with me on those visits too so really really excited and that is the big news to end the video thank you for watching guys next time you see me we’ll be bringing triplets in and we’ve got loads more stuff as it’s
