FLAT OUT TWICE IN 1 DAY!

Good morning, guys — welcome back to the farm! 🌤️
In today’s vlog, we’re tackling a busy few days on the farm as we sort sheep for market, move livestock into their new sheds, battle the weather, and juggle everything from awkward calves to icy slip-ups. It’s been a week of graft, laughs, and a few unexpected challenges.

🚜 What’s happening in this vlog?
• Early-morning feeding routine and getting the tractor, trailer, and handling system set up
• Expanding our sheep pen with some classic farm “bodging”
• Working our 1 collie dog — using our experienced collie flosh and the “pups” who still refuse to herd 🤣
• Gathering, weighing, and sorting the lambs and tup ambs for Bentham Market
• Choosing which ewe lambs to keep for breeding next year
• Housing sheep overnight to avoid the bad weather
• Market day: loading sheep, travelling to Bentham, unloading, luck money, and the all-important market breakfast
• A scary moment with a ewe who needed emergency vet care — plus an update on her recovery
• Bringing calves and cattle into new sheds as temperatures drop
• Fresh bedding, ad-lib feeders, ring feeders, mucking out & general winter prep
• A VERY dramatic slip on the ice (wish the camera caught it!)
• Checking that all the young stock are settled and happy in their new pens

🌧️ From sunshine to frost to pouring rain, this vlog gives a real glimpse into winter farming life — the rewarding parts, the icy chaos, and the moments that keep us on our toes.

🐑 Animals featured:
Sheep, lambs, tups, calves, cows, collies, goats… and even a recovering patient in the orchard.
