i like to hold that mans baby like that and send my dog to chase it lets see how much he enjoys that

[tracyhobbs]

poor lamb.. i just dont get this video..?

[222gemini]

look at the cruel way hes holding that lamb. poor lamb, its sick

[Bryc308]

Woooooow obviously none of you have any farming experience at all. Have you ever tried to catch a lamb by hand? they can easily out maneuver a human so ofc hed set his dog on it and usually if it headed the lamb fast enough it would just lie down. To carry a lamb by its arm is fine and causes them no pain, didn't you see how it completely relaxed when he picked it up? if it was hurt it would of called out or kicked its legs.

[WAkiwi1980]

Bloody greeny alert! most comfortable way to carry the lambs is by the front legs also means your sent does not cover the lambs sent which will result in miss mother, for you greenies thats when the ewe does not recognise her own lamb due to incorrect sent pattern... Time you guys should look past your office computer and stuffed toys, and remember the natural ways the world acuallu works, food for thought what do you thinks gonna happen to ' the dear wee lamb' when it goes to the meat works?

@WAkiwi1980 i dont understand what you're trying to say

[222gemini]

@WAkiwi1980 he nearly dislocated its leg, you could tell it was in pain

[darkstress]

disgusting!!!! Anyone that thinks this is acceptable needs to be treated with equal harshness n disrespect!!!!

[jennm1988]

I've never seen it done like this. Lambing takes patience and a gentle working dog...not one thats going to tear its head off (literally) for trying to escape. If the handler had not intervened, that dog would have killed the lamb. The damn dog was TUGGING at the throat of that lamb. I guess when you have an infinite number of sheep it doesn't matter if one gets torn to shreds.

[CastShepherd]

great job by the dog of containing the lamb

[yoshi55888]

its just a baby, do you really need to send a dog after that and then hold it like its dead?

[orig8a]

@yoshi55888 you try running after it and trying to catch it yourself then

[MrSidewayys]

i seriously think that he picked up that lamb pretty cruely

[RadicalMassacre]

@MrSidewayys its how you carry them, granted, grabbing it by both front legs would be slightly more comfortable for the lamb, but thats the way you carry a lamb when you're working with it

[NadimahElizabeth]

That was completely uncalled for. Just goes to show how cruel the farming industry is. The lamb was terrified, all the sheep were horrified and too scared to even try to help it. Bitten in the kneck and then lifted and swung around by one leg? Seriously. What exactly was the point there...to show off?

[googleisshittoss]

@NadimahElizabeth Grow up!... the World wasn't made by Walt Disney!

[NadimahElizabeth]

@googleisshittoss Thank God, that would suck.

[simon2coates]

cool dog, however catching a lamb should not be a difficult task.

[sgtmelisa]

I am sure after this farmer looking at this you tube video he does understand this was not the best way to handle this lamb, but when you are as upset with your dog that did not do what it was told you have a different mind set. Just a bad day on the farm.. We all have had some...

[morsobssesio]

its not really the proper way to hold a lamb. It may broke some bones and it will bee useless for farming or any livestock porpouses.

but, nice work with the dog!!!!!

[stephaniejorge]

I wouldn't hold a baby like that either. I might hold a lamb that way though.

[nzpolice111]

thats the best farming video i have eva seen you control that dog well keep up the good work dylan!!!

[PsychPsycho95]

[philbcats]

[jasper777777]

[MingTheMerciful]

The Lamb kinda look like a rag doll ... I would not hold a baby like that, by one legs ...
