We can hope, right?

I’m from North Carolina USA and started watching your channel because I love watching the puppies do their work, but now I watch because I just love the channel and all it stands for! Stacy, you are such a lovely person and the two of you together are so cute! Wishing you both the Happiest of New Year! May all your dreams and wishes come true in 2024! Praying for you and the pups! God Bless all you do!

I’m from NC and love the channel too.

Happy New Year! Thank you for putting yourselves out there so we can see sheep farming is still operating in Scotland. I think it is brilliant how you have adapted to the modern world and to show the world sheep farming in Scotland today. All the best in the New Year and That'll do. 🥰

***Dose everyone else notice the way Sean looks at Stacey?*** These two are just the loveliest. Happy New Year 🎉

The world can be quite chaotic at times, however your videos bring a sense of peace and clarity. Hope for a better future for all of us. You’re living the dream and we appreciate a glimpse into a life well lived. I understand that there are challenges in every life, but a day riding along with you is incredibly special. Thank you Sean, Stacey, Kate, Echo, Storm and Monty.

Wonderful yearend video. Wanted to compliment you, Sean, on your vision for farming sheep with a balanced ecologically sustainable approach. You’re a man for our times. Much love to you, Stacey, the beautiful doggos, and, of course, the sheep!!! Thank you for the excellent content in 2023. Happy New Year 🎉❤

Love how you are sharing with us. So grateful. I live in Ohio, USA. I know nothing about farms or working animals. Love learning to appreciate the hard work that goes into your field. Thank you both for your effort.

Not an easy thing to open yourselves to the public. Thank you for doing so, as the two of you along with your dogs bring much joy to all of us viewers! 💜

Happy happy New Year Sean and Stacy. We are from Idaho and are retired sheep people. We loved the life, The dogs we had Were mostly border collies. Our ancestors came from Scotland, So we feel a deep friendship with you. Here's to your future life with many sheep and collies Involved

This channel is such a breath of fresh air. All the best to you all for 2024 🎇🎈🎉

Re: the dogs fighting... I love that phrase, "It's mostly teeth and noise." I'll have to remember that!

I've commented on this before: I don't understand the low price on the wool when buying wool yarn to knit or crochet with or wool fabric to sew is ridiculously expensive. I guess it's all the processing in between that drives the price up.

Beautiful couple. Fantastic dogs. Excellent content. I wish you both a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

So nice to hear the 2 of you talking about your lives, the dogs, the farm, the sheep. Sean, I admire & applaud that you want to engage in sustainable farming, where the land & the animals are respected. I think it is so funny that Sean likes rats & Stacey likes vultures; I like both of those animals, too, I'd have rats as pets but they live such a short time I get too sad when they die. I love watching the turkey vultures soar overhead here where I live; & I am kind of obsessed with vultures for Hallowe'en ( I DIY'ed 3 vultures out of plastic flamingos!). I guess if you like animals, you like them all (mostly). I think one of the reasons your channel has done so well is that the 2 of you are such nice natural people, you don't seem to be putting on an act for the camera. And of course the dogs are awesome too. May you have a VERY happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! Thank you for your Q&A I Iearned a lot. 600 lambs in a day- mind boggling! Stacey, I laughed till I cried about your rabbits name of Slippers. Perfect!!! I LOVE your dogs, Kate the Great has my heart. ❣ ! Thank you for sharing the beauty of the land, your wild sheep, and amazing dogs. I always feel like I have traveled and am happy. I wish you both a very joyful, prosperous, and peaceful New Year!🎊❤💚

Greetings from Phoenix, Arizona. Love watching your channel. Great insight into the life of a shepherd, his family and dogs. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year,

There is an expression "Salt of the earth." It describes honest, reasonable, hardworking, and not prideful people. Examples of decency and humility. Our world seems to be lacking in these qualities and the Internet and social media is proof that society has devolved into narcissistic and vapid "celebrities." Your channel is such a refreshing alternative, providing hope and joy. We need more young people from your generation to show others about authentic living. Peace and fair weather to you! - from an old timer fan. 😊

Sorry I missed this video. Holidays were busy. Thank you for sharing things about your life. I am an absolute lover of all animals, which is how I found your channel. I'm not really good with humans, I like people and I'm kind to people, but I prefer animals. But you two are extremely humble and I only wish the very best that life can bring you. I hope one day you do get your farm. That is why I am always going on about the subscribers. I so can not wait for 1 million. Oh, how I will jump up and down for you two on that day. And trust me, it will be hard.......I'm old! 😂 I love your dogs, sheep, and even the cows. See you two in your next video! Take care 😊

My dog is a 1/2 boarder. She is FAST and smart. We are her sheep and she communicates what she wants in so many ways. I see that in your Kate. Thank-you for sharing.

Happy New Year to both of you and Kate, Storm, Echo and Monty!! 🎆🍾🙏💝

Thanks for taking the time to do this Q&A, Sean and Stacey. You shared a lot of interesting details about the dogs in particular and sheep farming in general. Sean, your idea of sustainable farming is great and I hope that you will be able to realize that opportunity one day. You’re young enuf to learn more, save more, research more. Happy New Year from half way around the world! LA, in sunny California. It is overcast and 50’F. Probably will stay that way all day. ☺️ Peace and Blessings to you both and all your furry, feathered, scaled creatures you live with, inside and out! May your dreams and health remain positive and abundant! ☮️💟🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾👍❤️❤️❤

Wish you did more of these, so quiet without the dogs!! Happy New year!!! Cute couple, great match,

Beautiful video just like Sean and Stacy are beautiful people! I really enjoy all your content as it is nothing I've ever seen living in Texas all my life! I love watching the dogs working, they are amazing! I wish y'all a blessed 2024 💜 🐕 🐑

I wish that I could have had the opportunity to become a shepherd at 22. Instead, I had to work city jobs until I was almost 50, when I bought this little place in Oklahoma, where land is cheap. I've never been able to quit my day job, because it would take someone bigger, stronger, and smarter than me to make a living on this place alone. But I have made a little extra pocket-money on my farm; I have turned a small profit on hay and cattle. Like you, I love being outdoors in every weather, and working with the land and with animals. You-all are right; living your dream life is better than being more financially successful.

Happy New Year. Thank you for letting us visit with you both. We dream of Scotland and happy border collies - so lovely to see them doing what they really love. PS - Stacey, your hair is beautiful. PSS - No shame in farming mutton and lamb.

Sustainable farming and stewardship is so important! Wishing you a wonderful 2024.

Happy New Year from BC Canada. So glad I found your channel. We are dog lovers and have two highland shelties. Family originally immigrated from Scotland in 1912. Watching your dogs work is fascinating. Love your channel. Keep doing what you are doing …..so interesting.

Sean and Stacey Thank you so much for this video. I enjoy your candid comments. All the dogs are wonderful to watch ( I'm a little softy for Monty, although I am truly impressed with your working dogs!) I certainly hope your Christmas was a special one. Have the Happiest of the New Year!!🎉

Życzę Wam wszystkiego najlepszego w Nowym Roku.Jesteście młodymi ,cudownymi ludźmi z wspaniałymi psami.❤

Thank you both for your generosity of spirit. Watching you and your dogs brings a bit of peace I can't always get here in California. Actually, no one in the States gets much peace lately, due to the political situation, some again, thank you so very much! Hooray for dogs,always, and good people such as yourselves! Live long and prosper❤

Thank You both so much for your Q&A New Year Video😃!!!!! It was fun and informative 🐏🐑 Love the opening of your shows, so beautiful, just like you 🎉🎉 Take care of yourselves, wear sunscreen. Enjoy life while you are so young despite all the hard work 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 🎄🎄🕊🕯🌟 Blessings and Have a great 2024♥️

We had a male Border Collie that was the best dog ever! He loved being with my husband and I, loved going on long walks, rides in the car, going camping, what ever we did he did. And he was every protective of us if he didn't like the person. I miss him very much.

You and Stacy are such a lovely couple. Thanks for sharing your lives and your 4 pups with us! 👍👍

The outdoors and animals 😊 nothing compares! 👍

Happy New Year to two of my favorite KZreadrs! (And the pups...) Thank you for all that you share with us! My family originated from Scotland so it is nice to see it from your perspective! And you are so right about taking care of the land! If you let it go, it really no longer is...land. Where I live in the states, people are buying up land and putting houseing developments on it. I get the whole housing thing, but what used to be Nordic back country ski trails is now someone's backyard. I look forward to watching you in 2024! Keep up the amazing work!

Warm greetings fron Bulgaria!❤ Thank you so much for all the cute, videos and good humor you put in them! Special greetings to your pretty and sweet Stacey, and of cource - to all your lovely dogs! Be happy and enjoy life! Wish to all of you a very happy New Year!

Sean, you both are wonderful KZreadrs . God bless you. The in 2024

I have never told you about my Halo border collie he was my heart dog. He was amazing. Not a herding dog. He had the quirkiest thing about him. He would look at jet planes like birds. So he would chase a jet across our backyard. It was the funniest thing. Halo pasted from nasal cancer. He broke my heart and I never really got to grieve. I still miss him after 10 yrs

Super chill and interesting. We must get you over to Norway for a trip and salmon fishing. You would be right at home. Maybe you would enjoy taking a look at how we have started to use sheep and goats to combat the completely overgrown madness that is happening at present due to the reduced use of pastoralism/summer farming and warming climate (it was interesting to hear your thoughts on that side to farming being explored also in Scotland. Hit me up if it happens and I get you hooked up for a day with reindeer herders (who also use Border Collies to great effect to handle 2500 free-roaming reindeer). HNY to the two of you and the great pack.

Congratulations to the 300,000+ subscribers. Yay!

When I took fellow Americans to Scotland and Ireland, I always took them to local farmers with working dogs. My family raised cattle and I loved supplementing income/supporting farmers and the tourists loved the demos.

Thank you, Stacie and Sean. Nice to get to know you both a little better. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉!

May you both have an amazing 2024, best wishes to you both. Excellent stories about your much loved dogs 🐶👍

I am looking forward to another great year of getting to know you 2 and the great dog videos!

Sean, I'm not sure if you send him Tiktoks or videos, or if he finds them, but OzzyMan loves you (well, he mostly loves Kate the Great), so getting your videos to him will always help, because he has such a large viewership. Stacey, bite that bullet and take a flight! Make it a short one, say, to the north of France, or even Ireland. You'd love travel, just a quiet travel...the type where you get to explore the castles, have a quiet lunch somewhere, wander the streets on your own time. But not a bad idea, starting with your own country. So happy to see you both content with your life! Happy Hogmanay to you both! I hope the year to come brings you more blessings! Get yourselves that tall dark one to cross your threshold tonight or tomorrow!

Hey Sean & Stacy & all the Beautiful Dogs. Echo, Storm & amazing Kate✨ May 2024 bring you the best of everything life offers. We love seeing all your stories & videos, sometimes it feels like I’m there with you in the fields. Great Work✨‼️

Happy New Year! Two questions 1. Do the dogs ever try to herd the two of you? Like try to get you in the same room? 2. When are we going to see the two of you lambing! 😊 🐾♥️🐾🐑🐾♥️🐾🐑🐾♥️🐾

Happy New Year!! Looking forward to what great things are in store for this channel in 2024. ❤❤

Happy New Year, Sean, Stacey, and Doggies (Kate, Echo, Storm, Monty). Wow I found your dream of biodiversity and eco-sustainability on sheep farms so very interesting! Hope you get to prove that. It just makes sense. Here in the wilds of Africa, there are so many different ungulates and others running together in vast herds. They all crop grass (and trees: giraffes and elephants for instance, and springbok also nibble at the lower leaves of some lower shrub-trees) at different levels, and live in perfect harmony together. All the dung makes for good soil, and places for the dung beetles and other species to be. We have our problems with rain... mostly lack of, but sometimes excess of. But things actually work better when we don't try and overcontrol, and put species in the land that aren't actually suited to it. I guess in Scotland you once had plenty of different deer species, alongside mountain sheep and goats, and wolves? And Eagles? And foxes. Try talking to the fox with your mind, Stacey. Maybe it'll come back. If you love the butterflies (or was it moths?) so much, you can surely talk to the foxes.

Thank you for your wonderful relaxing videos. It takes me to a happy place watching your wonderful dogs and your interactions with your dogs. Wishing you happiness and good health to everyone dogs included for 2024 from Australia 🇦🇺

I've always wanted a collie, but for reasons, I can't. So this is my way of enjoying collies. Love you channel.

Love love love this channel, with Echo, Storm,Kate,and Monty, and also you do a great job, Sean and Stacy. Since I lost my Border Collie the (3rd) I've had, and found I have Cancer at the same time in January 2023. Goodbye to 2023. Your videos keep reminding me of my dogs I've had as pets in the pass. Happy 2024🎉 . Give the dogs hugs and kisses for me.

The first video I saw was the dogs running with music behind. We have always had Border Collies so I was fascinated to see the video. I watched it over and over and it just made me happy. I subscribed and just love watching all the videos. Come to the United States Sean, stay with us and we will take you Salmon fishing on Lake Michigan. Open invitation. Happy New Year from Wisconsin USA.

@@virginiaconnor8350 I spay and neuter all my animals. Sean explained he did not spay and neuter his although he was diligent in keeping them separated male from female when any dog came in heat.

Thank you for sharing your lives with us! I have really been enjoying learning about sheepdogs and life in rural Scotland. I live with an 11-year-old mutt and it is amazing how much we know each other.

Just catching up on your older videos because I just discovered your channel not too long ago. Thank you, love your videos,love your dogs, love your lovely wife. ❤

Very nice of you to let us intrude on your lives. I hope the channel pays you back for all the effort you put in. Tell me about the dog in the picture on the wall behind you? One of the current pack or, maybe an ancestor? I've been watching for most of a year now and enjoy it all but have to say that your intro pix of the dogs are most captivating. Just lost my lab/newfie girl at 15 yrs+1day and yours and the Stonnie Dennis channel really help to fill the void for me. Thanks and pls keep it up.

A wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing your lovely love work life dog stories. We love it❤. An American here and I had no idea about anything sheep herding etc. the dogs r what really caught me. ❤Kate is my favorite . Sean with your experience and knowledge and work ethic you will go far. Your comments about farming sheep is the truth. It’s meat. What a great pair you are. Stick together.

Commenting from Lon Island New York. Just came in from running our third Border Collie Clay. He's a lunatic ball driven but a real affectionate one year old. We rescued him and have him 4 months. Love your program, best of luck and have a happy new year!

Great video! Veery informative & interesting! You and Stacy are such a sweet couple! I always enjoy vids with both of you in them! Sean, you’ve enlightened me so much about herding! And what the sheep are bred for. Having great grandparents from Scotland, has certainly heightened my interest in the country, even tho my Scottish ancestors were from a leaderless clan! Apparently, that was what the name MacEwan meant. So glad I caught your video, and always check in regularly to catch up with you, Stacy and all your amazing dogs! 🐾❤️🕊️Happy New Year!

I wish you both the pups and the other subscribers a very blessed 2024. I hope for more peace in the world for all.

I am from Mexico and I love your fantastic dogs and the beatiful place you live and work. You are a very beatiful couple and You have a very interesting life. Les mandamos muchos saludos desde México !!!! Besos a los perritos!!!

Such a big fan of the site! You two are such a sweet young couple. Please enjoy the new year and keep those wonderful videos of the dogs, the farm life, family and Scotland coming. By the way, Glenfiddich is my default, as well.

So, if the wool doesn't bring any money, what is done with the wool when the sheep are sheared? Is any of it given away? Just wondering if wool could be made popular again as it is a natural product. Do people in Scotland make carpets out of the wool? Carpets like Persian or Turkish? I just hate to think of it going to waste. (I am part Scott!) ❤I enjoyed this video so much. I grew up near small farms & knew farmers in the USA. It seems like a good life. 🎉Happy New Year🎉

You might ask a weaver if he or she needs any sheared wool. I learned to weave, but still lack a loom and supplies. Want to learn to spin too.

Thanks for all the interesting information! You probably told us in another Q and A, but i don’t recall learning whether Stacy works outside the home and if not what her life is like, beyond the involvement with pursuing pregnancy. And Sean, what hours are you usually gone every day? You might be amused at what it’s like for an American from California to listen to your Q and A: to better understand you, i need to turn on the English captions and then what those captions say requires Another level of translation going on in my brain. You might want to watch the episode with the English captions turned on if you want a few laughs. But don’t worry about it. Clearly i and all your fans find what you both say and do very interesting and cute. And of course we feel the same about the charming doggies too. Thank you for being there and sharing your lives with us. Its a bit depressing to think about sheep’s wool being no longer an important industry, if that is what you said.- Im an 82-year-old granny and retired university teacher and writer and editor, as well as a lifelong knitter. I discovered YT during covid lockdown and Im glad i did. It’s a great learning experience.

Thank you for being there !! Love to watch you all. Happy new year !!!

Happy New Year! So happy we found you two! Our farm has always had English Shepherds. Thank you for the daily inspiration and the love of farming. We are in Smithsburg, Maryland USA.

I grew up loving animals, always wanting to be outside, wanting to have a farm. I became a veterinary technician in the Army,; worked in civilian veterinary clinics, pet shops, emergency veterinary clinics. I have owned rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, ferrets, fish, conure birds, an iguana, chickens, ducks, horses, ponies, Kathadin sheep, Barbados Blackbelly sheep, California Red sheep, Dorper/Suffolk sheep, and a Navajo Churro sheep. I have also had goat breeds of Alpine, Kiko, Nubian, British Guernsey. Lots of fun and challenging experiences.

Thanks for sharing with us together. You're such a sweet couple, and it is so interesting to hear about your life. Janice from Arkansas USA

Really interesting video. Thank you for answering so many questions. As a weaver, I was surprised about what you said about wool not being profitable. I would assume that with sheep breeds known for their wool (e.g., merino), it would be profitable. Also wondering about sheep's milk (for cheese). Maybe there are smaller herds of specialty breeds for which wool and cheese are profitable?

Thank you for sharing so much if you day to day life with us strangers 😊Being able to experience your passion and knowledge for sheep farming is a real treat for someone from the suburbs of Georgia, USA. Have a Happy New Year, stay healthy and be safe! Looking forward to your story continuing in 2024🎉🥂🎆

I enjoy watching your pups at work and the beautiful surrounding land

Thank you Sean and Stacey for doing this video and answering questions!! May this channel continue to grow and I hope you prosper!! Happy New Year!! 2024

Hearing and learning about your overall "life" adds a good bit of depth. Enjoying what you DO have is a (big) secret of true success; there's not improvement in owning a farm if you lose 50% of your freedom. ...Also, appreciated hearing your ideas around farming to build biodiversity, using specific breeds and artful treatment of the land. Would love to hear more about your biodiversity ideas. Keep in mind, you can cultivate elements of your audience by presenting content that speaks to those specific elements. Some of us want the details about some of the things you are living over there, although I know TikTok is made for what can be handled in short form, or spread through short form. ...I mentioned in another comment, we have a border-collie poodle named Pema. Watching her run and leap is one of the joys of my day.

Happy new year!!! 🎉 Wishing you two all the best for 2024!

Listening to Stacey talk about bringing insects home reminded me of when I put a caterpillar into my doll’s house in my bedroom. I tried to barricade it in with the tiny furniture 😂. Woke up during the night to find it crawling towards me on my pillow! 😳

Wales would be nice, stop off at the lake District then down to Wales. Lots of nature and castles/history!

What a beautiful couple with dogs!

Happy New Year guys; thanks for another glimpse into all the things you do. 😊

Thank you both. Have a safe 2024. Many blessings to you as well. Have enjoyed your videos so much. Love the furbabies. ❤❤❤

How often do you bathe the dogs and pressure wash the bike? Looks very messy there. Love the videos. We had a BC a couple of years back and she was so sweet, loving, and just amazing....we miss her every day. I have fond memories of her trying to herding our cats. Comebye!

I’m really glad to have found your YT channel: it always brings great pleasure - and your ‘Shorts’ are pure dead brilliant! Happy Hogmanay and I hope 2024 brings you health & happiness.

Happy New Year from the States 🥂 Hope 2024 brings you (all) health and happiness, 💕 joy and peace.

Happy new year....wishing you All the best in 2024. Woof wooof

Happy New Year to you both and of course the dogs. I certainly enjoy watching them here in NYC… PS As a Paul McCartney fan since the Beatles hit our shores in ‘64 I was so glad to hear you’re from Kintyre. His video there along the water with the bagpipers really showed its beauty.

So different and refreshing from all the glamorous (sort of) other stuff on YT!

Happy New Year!

Glenfiddich is my favorite

Lovely 🥰 ❤ I learn things very well from you and your videos , I donot have a sheep 😮

These videos with Sean and his Team of Collies are brilliant and makes really good interesting viewing to take your mind off these troubled times.

Your videos are something I look forward to! You two are a lovely, sensible and sensitive couple. From the bottom of my French heart, I wish you a wonderful 2024 year. That'll do!!!!❤

Great video

I love watching your wonderful videos. You are such a beautiful, charming couple! Unfortunately, I do not know English and do not understand what you are saying at all. 🥰👍

Truly I find it fascinating to hear from someone across the pond. I live in the United States what they call the heartland, which is in the middle of the mainland. So for me it is exciting what you do. I look forward to every video.If there are naysayers and there usually are, pay no attention to them. You are doing a fabulous job.Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉May God bless your every endeavor. Last but not least, Stacy, I love your hair, very cute!❤
