[phuturephunk]

I love how the one that walks from around the building just comes up and starts chilling and then wags its tail when she touches it. Awwwww, so cute.

[Karuminu]

The sheep are all so cute!! I am paying very careful attention and taking vital notes in my head watching this. I plan to raise sheep on a farm someday too!

[fromvnwithlove]

they look so sweet and innocent. i dont want to eat meat ever again

[danzloteanu]

hi, guys, what are you doing with the wool after? someone is coming and collecting it from you? how much does it cost on the market - the rough wool, per kg??

[eastofakron]

what does that mean- send lambs to market?

[reptilehunter7]

@eastofakron i think she means sending them to the butchershop to get slaughtered for meat

[eastofakron]

are sheep intelligent animals? compared to a dog?

[squirrelhatr]

no, they are not even close to a dog in intelligence. At least mine aren't

[joejedlicka]

@eastofakron I've heard horror stories of their low intelligence, but my Katahdin sheep are fairly intelligent. If there is any change in the color or form of terrain, especially mud and dirt, they will approach it cautiously. Cows normally walk through almost anything without a second thought. In actual intelligence tests, hogs scored the highest of any farm animal, 10th in the spectrum of all animals, including dogs. And 6 of the top 10 were primates!

[Plum369]

so do you shear before or after lambing in the spring?

[reptilehunter7]

@Plum369 you shear before lambing so it is easier for the lambs to drink their mothers milk

[got2havesugar]

I enjoyed your video so much. Only things is the correct term is flock not herd. Flock applys to fowl & sheep. Herd cattle & goats. BTW love your Nubian buck in the background! He must make some nice doelings!
