Ya John the rams are tough out but at least there done for another year, the ewes will be easier to shear

Brilliant! Top marks for shearing! Novice you are not! Brilliant job! Why the hell is the wool price so low? Insane! And we import from NZ, Australia, the USA and Europe!! Why the wool cannot be used for home insulation? Eco and cost effective. Thanks again. Have a good week.

Ya it's crazy that there is no market for it, so natural and a brilliant product and not a penny for it. Ya exactly it should be used for house insulation

Great video. Like that you use captions at times to clarify what is happening or being said. I know it is a pain to do but it does make watching your videos even more enjoyable. I watch Ewetopia Farms on KZread. They are an older couple that have a sheep farm in Canada. The lady uses her cell phone and makes a 30 minute to hour video every day. Their sheep need shearing but none of the men they usually get are even returning their call. Great that you can shear your own! Great you can save the money by doing it yourself plus do it when you want. Look forward to seeing the Ewes sheared. They wouldn’t be as heavy as the Rams but there will be a whole lot more to do.

This video was sure busy with cutting trees along your fence line, spreading fertilizer and Shearing the Rams. Good thing you have your dad to assist with the bigger Rams. That has to be a real workout maneuvering those rams around. They must be happy when your a done getting all of that hot wool off.

Ya tough work, the rams do be delighted when the wool is off. There is a lot of flystrike around so happy to get it done

Sheep slurry is it hard to mix it up before spreading,is there good value from it and also is the smell bad. Ive only ever spread cattle slurry and pig slurry i would always get a few loads of pig slurry delivered into my tanks and mix them together but d cattle i find dont like grazing the grass after it. So i use it for silage ground.

It mixes fine as its just mainly meal from the ewes,, it's a lot better than cattle slurry as its all meal
