Ye, tonight it's on

Green farmer · 25-03-2014 10:06PM

Lads did ye see the lambing sheds on tonight's programme, ? would give the teagasc athenry shed a run for its money.

sea12 · 25-03-2014 11:00PM

Saw the second half. Think they are a week early or at least half a week early. Was interesting enough but noting major new on it.

Agree it's a fine shed,

Green farmer · 25-03-2014 11:16PM

For a programme that's aimed at the general public, it really does go into some detail about all the steps involved in sheep farming.

arctictree · 26-03-2014 10:38AM

Saw it last night. Good level of detail I suppose for a general audience. Doesn't really go into specific problems though that you might encounter.

Salmonman · 26-03-2014 11:22AM

I see they only worm dosed ewes that were thin .

Always only dose ewes at lambing here, we find that there's a lot less worms in the lambs early in the season if we do, but you won't find that in a teagasc book though

Saw that, alright. Also they didn't appear to be marking the one's they dosed, nor the ones they give the bolus to.

You don't see really difficult births on it. Suppose it would horrify a lot of people.
Had a serious tug of war in the shed last night and was thinking if there were live cameras it would be time to cut to a commercial break. Successful outcome in the end though.

Nice to see them feeding in troughs outside.

No, I don't know how to view it, any tips?

Lads in the Twelve Bens and Maumturks reckon if a sheep doesn't know to start walking she'll be a goner with snow. Fairly high some of them mountains, and not bad grazing at all on top of the turks.

Have you free satellite, It's channel 971 or
You can see it on BBC Iplayer, but you have to hide your IP address,( If you search that on Google, it'll tell you how,......... you probably know how anyway)

Was watching it whilst at the gym on the bike, instead of the usual crap.

Green farmer · 26-03-2014 10:00PM

See difference between how easily the mule slipped out, compared to the texel one he'd to pull. Unfortunately I've a lot of texel in my own girls that are due to start lambing tomorrow
