Navigating Challenges On A Sheep Farm!Video: Navigating Challenges On A Sheep Farm!
In today's episode of our daily sheep farming vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we find ourselves faced with a multitude of tasks and limited time to complete them all. However, we are determined to make progress! Our main focus today was to train the Dorset triplets to drink from bottles without the need for us to hold them. Arnie even took on the challenge of feeding bottles to the Suffolk lambs, giving him a taste of what it's like to be mobbed by hungry little ones!
This year, our lambs are growing at an impressive rate, which brings both joy and unexpected challenges. Some of the lambs have been getting stuck under the feeders, while others struggle to enter or exit the creep pen. To address the feeder issue, we diligently cleaned out the bedding pack surrounding the feeders, providing the lambs with more space. As for the lambs' difficulty in accessing the creep pen, we plan to separate the larger lambs and relocate them to another pen soon.
With a large number of sheep on the farm, ensuring everyone is fed each day leaves us with limited extra time to tackle additional tasks. Nevertheless, we believe in taking small steps towards our goals. Join us in this episode as we navigate through the challenges and work towards the well-being of our flock
