Tackling LAME SHEEP!

We've had a really bad year this year with foot rot and I thin we will be foot vaxing the sheep next year.

Until then we are trying to keep on top of any problems before they get too severe.

This piece of ground has amazing grass but I do find that winter grazing that has cattle on during summer seems to cause more lameness issues than just clean silage aftermath.

Let me know what you think.

ABOUT ME

I’m 32 years old and I’m a sheep farmer from Ayrshire in South West Scotland, which is why I have such a strong accent! I was born and raised on a sheep farm watching my dad who was the shepherd.

At 18 I went away from farming to work in the city (something I still do) and at 23 (2013) I decided I wanted to do something for some extra money so I went on a sheep shearing course. The hardest thing I’ll ever do was learning to shear sheep. [shudders thinking about it]

I shore whilst on my holidays from work for 2 years and then in 2015 my dad died so I decided to get my own sheep so I could continue working with sheep as it was something I loved doing. From there it escalated quickly from my first 4 sheep in my mum’s garden to now running around 850 breeding ewes.

I shore over 19,000 sheep this season in the UK and have my own shearing run which lets you see many different farms in the summer months.

A few years ago I bought myself a sheep pregnancy scanner and have been building up my run since then.

I watched a few farm vlogs on YouTube and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
