Great that John came to visit at such a busy Shearing time to help film. Wish you could have had more of your struggle with the one Sheep trying to Shear it on video. Looks like to put up quite a fight. You must have been in traction the next day after shearing 150 in one day. That is really amazing perseverance. Great job on all the Shearing videos, thanks.

Best mineral dose on the market is ovitrace it is a drinch but it is chillated so holds in the rumen ,we used mayo bolas but found them no good since using ovitrace our sheep have improved something mad .

Creep feed is expensive but well worth it. Get lambd away earlier at a higher price. Wean them all, when you feeding them lambs will thrive better and makes it easier for weighing and managing them.

Ya you're right there, the lambs do thrive on the nuts and great to get them away earlier on to save grass

Creep depends on your system,amount of good ground available and importantly your soil type/ environment and of course benefit related to cost. I'm here in upland donegal. I lamb outdoors in April. Won't sell a lamb till sep/Oct and in some yrs Dec. I have more ground than sheep! So grass (of varying quailty) isn't my problem. Cheaper for me to allow stock manage ground rather than me topping. That said do both. Enjoy your vids. Look after da. I've missed mine over the last Yr.

Very nice video, Its good that you guys got at least 20 more lambs than you thought you would. 👍 Glen get some rest from all that sheering . It looks like its takes everything out of you 😉

you were asking about Mineral Bolus I recommend ALLSURE bolus We have used them for years We would have different type of land than you here in Roscommon We give the bolus to the ewes before Tupping and again in the Spring two weeks before lambing it has reduced the amount of difficult births The bolus can be got with or without Copper We have only just discovered your Channel Good luck with everything and be careful on the Quad

Before you bolus your yows, have a word with your vet and get a few blood tests done first, that will tell you what you are deficient in. I have used Agrimin smarttrace for the last 4 years with great results, twice a year, once before tupping and when they have lambed...
