The Sheep did WHAT?!

Welcome to our farm vlog! Today, we're going to be talking about fixing fences and bringing in hay bales. As an Australian farmer, I know firsthand the importance of maintaining strong and sturdy fences to keep our sheep safe and secure.

Recently, we had an issue with some of our sheep escaping out of the fence. It's not uncommon for sheep to push against fences, especially if they see something on the other side that they want to investigate. They were originally in that paddock and had recently been moved so wanted to go back. But when this happens, it can weaken the fence and make it easier for them to escape. So, we knew we had to act fast to fix the problem before it got any worse.

First, we inspected the fence to identify the areas that needed repair. We found several spots where the posts had become loose, and the wire had become stretched and damaged. To fix these issues, I tied ti up with flexible wire.

Once the fence was fixed, we moved on to bringing in the hay bales from the paddock. Hay is an important food source for our sheep and a way to ensure that we have feed during a bad year, and we need to make sure we have enough to last them through the summer. Using our tractor, we loaded up the hay bales and transported them back to the sheds.

Overall, it was a productive day on the farm. Fixing the fence and bringing in the hay bales are just a couple of the many tasks that we have to do to keep our farm running smoothly. We hope you enjoyed watching our vlog and got a glimpse into the daily life of an Australian female farmer. Thanks for watching!

I don’t know if this was interesting to you or but, let me know and do you want to see more farm vlogs?

As a fellow (but older) Australian currently living and working overseas, you made me smile with the "slip, slop, slap" comment. Your message about skin cancer is appropriate. Twelve months ago, I was having surgery and radiation therapy for melanoma. So, well done.

"I'm talking to you like you all have farms..." snort! love it!

[TaraFarms]

Scroll back up and like the video please 🥺

Yours is the only YouTube channel I sit all the way through the ads for. Well I usually sip my tea & stare into the middle distance - but I think it counts for the algorithm. Hope it helps.

This is actually interesting to see. I grew up for a while on a farm, but the farm pretty much did nothing. I will say though farm gates are made to be impossible to shut. They either drag across the dry dirt or the chain is always shorter than the required length. It's like some weird Rubik's cube challenge to entertain the onlookers.

[hollynelson]

Yes please talk to us like we all have farms. I love shop talk. No matter how simple something seems, it’s always more complex and there are always tricks and problems and solutions. 😊

Hello - I learned about your site on You Tube from Sandi Brock of Canada. I like to watch sheep farmers that live and work in various situations. So beside Sandi I watch Cami Wilson - and family from Scotland - He runs several hundred sheep entirely on rented land and in the open. He doesn't own farm buildings. He had been a policeman. He does alot of filming with drones. Then there is "the Viking" who lives in northern Scotland and is a friend of Cami. He just gutted an old sheep shed on his family's property and refurbished the entire inside of the building. He runs all of his sheep on a mountain-side and only brings them off twice a year. Then there is another young man who lives in Northern Scotland who also runs his sheep and his Dad's and sister's sheep on a mountain slope. They bring them in twice a year. The dogs are such wonderful help to these farmers. It was Cami Wilson who was part of the rescue of "Fiona - Scotland's Loneliness Sheep. " This was filmed in the last 6 weeks I would say. Do watch this very fun film. There were 5 young farmers who worked to rescue Fiona. Another guy is a hoof trimmer for cattle from Scotland. He is called - -"The Hoof GP " His name is Graham Parker. He has done so well. He does alot with teaching about hoof trimming. His brother was apart of this group. He is an artist. Another young man works with a group of men who run 200 sheep on 2-3 islands in the Herbries (sp?) They have to move the sheep to another island so they do it the old fashioned way by carrying the sheep - one by one - down the mountain sloop. Then transfer the sheep to a small boat which in turn take the sheep to a bigger boat. They are transferred then on another island. It's all very interesting and fun. I like to get an idea about all the different ways sheep can be raised. I'm from central Minnesota and was raised on a dairy farm . I had no idea Scotland had such a large amount of farmers. You raise a lot of sheep in Australia and that is also so interesting . You do an interesting vlog. Don't worry so much
about what to show us. I think to us anything about Australia would be just so fun to hear about. Watch Cami Wilson and The Hoof GP to get drone filming ideas. Lastly, I just want to tell you this - when I was a kid - we had a pair of those big gray geese - that you have a cut out of - any way - they would lay 4-5 eggs in the lilac bushes. After, the eggs hatched and the baby goslings were strong enough to go for a walk around the farm - Daddy Drake would bring the babies off the nest. They would line up behind the drake. Mother goose took her place at the end of the line behind the babies. Daddy goose would present his new babies to the barnyard with much trumpeting. He would be so proud to do this. He held his head so high and his neck so straight. He would be just so proud. He was bursting with pride. It was so enjoyable for me to remember this experience. Well, take care. Stay safe. I hope you and your family have a Blessed Holiday Season. Phyllis Scroggins.

😱 Hide the bodies before the police come. 😂😂😂😂 You have the greatest sense of humor, out of the other YouTubers.

You need to get mineral sunscreen so it won't burn your eyes. Most comfortable to wear one I found was Elta MD.

[gordonlawrence]

I think these VLogs every now and again would be a good idea but your usual stuff is good.

[juliehock]

This is very interesting. Thanks for the details. Sheep are definitely silly/stupid. Who does your job when you are on holiday and travelling. Good to see another dog working, clever animals. It would be interesting to pit a kelpie with the English working dog - “Sean the sheep man” has some good videos.

*we use to use a sheep dog to keep my sisters in line.* but the worst is when you cant find how they got the gate open. _JC
