I can watch this now that your fleece auction has finished! Thanks for being a great farmer/shepherd!

Haha I know! That fleece auction is a lot of work for all of us!

Love the lamb playhouse in the field - great repurposing! Thank you for the time spent on the fleece videos and seeing this lamb video post auction is wonderful. In terms of ads, the skip button is great and my ads consist of anti-aging cremes, sports drinks & dog food. The ads don’t bug me and they are likely based on my online profile.

Thanks! I had one playground toy I garbage picked but it had to go because one of my adults got caught in one of the hidey holes. Silly girls.

Hi Jen, You sheep really love you. Was excited to see you had a video up. Good luck with your auction

Thanks Pat!

The reason we wean our lambs is two-fold: 1. Just like you said, the mom needs to get her condition back before next breeding season. 2. Our lambs need a ton of grain to not look like tall, walking skeletons and if they’re in with their moms, the moms will eat all the grain.

Thanks for this, that makes so much sense! Would be interesting to have a conversation with you comparing raising sheep for their wool vs. raising them as food - any interest?

Love that video... and I didn't get any ads! Though I don't pay for 'getting no ads'.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your pain. My hip MRI came back bad. Bone on bone and a labrum tear. It really is inhibiting me from all my sheep chores I need to do. Probably have to have a replacement 😢

So sorry to hear this Wendy - I hope you have a solution soon.

I pay for premium to avoid ads. If I’m not signed in, then I get ads, which are really annoying! I’ve gotten used to no ads.

That's how we do it too.

Little sweeties - they all gather around you to get affection ❤ Yes, you can “skip” on most ads after they play for at least 5 seconds. I see subscribe to a lot of channels - to many “snake oil” ads - medical and to put it nicely ads for men’s male functions kinda soft porn - thank goodness when the SKIP button appears! 🤮

Thank you for that feedback! I was reading somewhere that a person new with sheep used snacks to get them like this - I never have! They just love to get attention! Makes me feel terrific.
