Come WALLING with me.... Top tips on dry stone walling !
Hello 👋
Welcome to Sam Shutt Farming, daily life on the Hill farm
This is Sam and Oliver plus 4 children farming beef sucklers and sheep in the North Yorkshire/Cumbria border area.
We are first-generation farmers, and we've had no help at all to get to where we are now. We are here to show you our life and what we do. I am also here to show new entrance that it is possible to start from scratch. Being strong-willed, determined, and a lot of hard work, you can do it.
We are both from farming backgrounds. I grew up on a family dairy farm. Milking from a very young age.Working for my uncle when i left school. I've learnt everything from him and grown ever since. I met Oliver when I was 16 he was 15. We started with a few sheep when we met and have built up over the 16 years to where we are now. We took on a 500-acre hill farm in 2019, currently 5 years into the tenancy.
Also, here to show people women can be useful in the agricultural world.😉😁

Awh, thank you! I am shocked . Only bit of walling in my eyre 🤣
I did enjoy it. You are a very good and interesting communicator, the wall, the baby, the air footage and just a peaceful video. Glad to hear your medical staff are making you take care of that future baby. We are lucky to live in countries where new life gets the highest care. Joyce USA

It's interesting to see how the walling is done. A systematic approach is key. If the eggs were cold then probably they had been abandoned before you got there. Having a natural birth is not recommended after the C sections as, by what you have been told, it's too risky. Getting over the C Section will just have to take as long it takes. Ripping your trousers must have been caused by all that bending over doing lambing stuff. Stretched the material beyond it's limit.

Haha not stretchy enough 🤣😬 yes so it's a shame but wanted to try 1 more time, but they weren't letting me. Can't put us both at risk 🤷 pointless. Yes they were cold and in the open air so I think they weren't seen to anyway. Thanks 😄😁
Probably better to have postponed the wall repair and left the nest until fledging. Apart from moving it the bird has been disturbed for too long.

The eggs were really cold if that makes any difference? Not sure how old it is .

@@Sam-shutt If the hen was still laying the clutch, they will be cold. She then sits when the clutch is complete. Looked like Blackbird eggs, but could be a ring ouzel being up in the moorland. Blackbirds line the nest with mud. Anyway hopefully she will have time for a second clutch.
i know the chap who knocked that wall down with a lorry and rebuilt it for your gran a relative of yours

This was on a different farm..he was at home spreading fert for neighbour, and mucking sheds out he's none stop 👍 it's a good skill to have!
Stones are always hand they will always be there they never didintegrate
So sorry you can't have a natural birth, it really sucks. Tell them to fix it better next time. You should have tied your jacket around your waist to hide the hole. LOL. Love your videos.

Oh yeh !! Good idea ! 💡 🤣🤣 oh glad you enjoy 😁😃
is there no end to your talents? Nothing like a farmer for having multiple skills. As for having a caeserian, be glad of modern medicine; I had a caesarian in 1970 and couldn't even hold my baby without help for two days: two weeks in hospital and no heavy lifting for months: I'm sure you like the idea of having a baby and being back at work the next day, but be realistic; give yourself a break and take advantage of getting a rest! I think you're having a girl.

Usually, it's 2 weeks before I can drive and fit for light work again 🤣 bad time of year ! The original was planned and due march but decided to disappear! So that's my 4th miscarriage! So.....bad timing 🤣🤣 it's okay takes as long as it takes I suppose. I just love grass season !
