I guess I was hopeful for better weather as it feels like we have endured enough miserable rain and mud …. But no … it continues indefinitely! But there are some positives and some good lambs as well as challenging conditions. Thank you for sharing in the journey with me - all the highs and lows ❤️ Joanna
your doing a great job there guys.......tough going in this bloody weather but you just do the best you can that's all you can do.........seeing you walking through the mud there reminded me of the days of the foot and mouth outbreak 20 years or more ago now............pictures on t.v of RSPCA helpers helping farmers with there lambing and carrying wet and cold lambs accross fields out of the mud........they were truelly desperate and sad times
Hi Joanne you are the best carer ever for your beautiful little lambs Cheers 🍻 and thanks for the good video 👋👍
Thank you so much Giuseppe xx
You both are doing an amazing job, kudos!
Good too see Nic is still alive and kicking
old timers around here used to always catch the ewe and turn it up and give the lamb s a suck when they were lambing out .........its amazing what weather they will put up if they get a suck soon after its born........... i see that u have a stack of bales left ........dont be tempted to sell them ......might be a year where everything is needed .....they will keep ........i fed a few that were made in 2021 lately they were fine ... you have good strong lambs .......mighty triplets altogether .......all that feed and minding has paid off .......well done you both .!.....keep up the good work ....
THANK YOU JOANNA FOR THE VIDEO , PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WELL , XXX .🐑☔
Hi Joanna, Well the lambing season has finally started. Some busy days and nights ahead. It's only natural to miss your dad Joanna. It can take many years sometimes to get over it. I lost my gran forty four years ago, my mum thirty years ago and my dad fifteen years ago. I can remember it all like it was yesterday, but I still miss them so much. Just remember, I'm sure your dad is looking down on you somewhere, with a big smile on his face. I hope everything goes well for you this season as you and Nick deserve it. At least the weather is starting to warm up a little, so that's one positive...😃👍🏻
We just got done with lambing here in Iowa. We ended up with quite a few triplets this year and one quadruple even. Now it's calving time here on our farm.
Joanna, my hope is to visit one day, I would love to volunteer my help in anyway you needed it. You probably already know this, but you and Nick are very appreciated and loved by many of us. We are all wishing you the very best, in all the challenges that arise. The one thing I’m very sure about, is your dad would be very proud of you of what you have accomplished, in taking care of the farm. ❤🙏🏼
Despite the bad weather and bad conditions... Joanna you are doing great as always. Taking great care with the lambs born and taking care of the rest of the farm!! An example as always🙌🏻
Great day of lambs. I still think of ringing dad after mart day. ❤
Great to see all the new life arriving all around,I’m sure dad will be looking down on u,immensely proud of the job ur doing
Lord bless you all
You two are doing such an amazing job with the farm and campsite! Your father is looking down on you with the beautiful smile of his! I’m praying for better weather for you all! 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼. Happy Spring!
what better sight than a tiny lamb,,,its going to be a very busy time for you and nick,good luck the two of you...joanne,grief is going to hit you at unexpected times for years to come..talk to you dad,,text him if it makes you feel better.. hes there,just out of sight.hes there with you walking in the fields in all this bloody rain,talk to him then,hes listening. x
Such a hard lambing season for all. Ireland hard also poor lambs
That takes me back a whole lot of years lambing up near Settle and Malham , Yorkshire Dales. Very similar setup. The stone walls are amazing for sheltering stock. I lost my Mum 18 yrs ago and still have her number in my mobile x
Ah you poor dear, I feel your grief. I'm from farming back ground in rural Ireland and lost my beloved Dad in January 2023 but it still feels like only yesterday. Sending you love and to brighter days ahead xx❤ Rita
Touching to see your tears and happiness through the start of lambing. Dad is well pleased. Thank you and take care.
Good luck Nick and jo, hope the new lambing season goes well despite the still crap weather. You know you can do this you have for two years now. Be confident all will be good. Your Dad would be proud of how you continue to farm and improve it.
So much rain 🤦🏼♀️ but it’s a great start for lambing. Hang in there ❤️
My Dad has been gone 22 years on the 16th of this month, my Mom 19 years last month. I miss them both everyday, but am left with great memories. Looks lambing is off to a good start, now if you get some better weather.
Top job with the lambing Joanna; despite the rotten weather. I hope there's some fine weather coming soon so the fields can produce a decent body of feed for all the livestock. As always you're both doing an excellent job managing the farm and the campsite. Well done.
The mules throw the cutest lambs .... hope the weather start cooperating ... it's really bad in ireland right now
You are only normal having feelings like that dad's with you in your mind and spirit what a credit you both are to farming keep up the good work ,don't forget wedding nic
I'm sure your dad knows all that is happening and how you're feeling. You still feel his love, he's out there watching over you. The weather is shocking bad for lambs. Ours started just a couple of days before yours. Spring is coming for sure and hopefully a change of weather. Take care
Very busy time for you.i must say your reallg lookin after them lambs with a high degree of care.
Congrats on the 1st baby lamb ,, weather is warming up ,, hopefully it gets better soon ,, My dad passed away 7 years ago and I miss him too,, We will have good days and bad days , goes to show how we really cared when they were around God bless and you are super ❤
Can only love the feelings,
My heart goes out to you. Lost my dad and grandad over 20 years ago. And still miss them. And still get the odd wVe of grief. I look at as still remembering them. Great lambs. ❤
Excellent video again thanks for sharing always nice to see new life on the farm your dad is very proud of you for carrying on with his lifes work XX
My heart goes out to you jo, I just lost my dad November 2023 i really feel your pain, Its a very strange feeling not having your father anymore, Keep up the good work.❤
Good old England rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain ☔ you guys are doing extremely well they say human children are born better when they're born underwater so I'm thinking maybe the lambs like going from a liquid place to another liquid place 😁 put all the little lambs are adorable until you start to go cross sided 😁🐝
Strong healthy lambs. I raised Reg Hampshire sheep for close to 40 years. Lambing was always my favorite time of year. You guys do a fantastic job !
I had to hunt your channel down! You tube hasn’t been suggesting you and I’m not seeing your posts in my feed. Praying for you in this difficult spring lambing season.
I don’t know why that is! Thank you
Hi Joanna. It is joyous to watch the start of the new lives taking place on the farm. Tiring and emotional for you over the next few weeks, but very uplifting for us to watch. Eat and sleep as well as you can. Many smiles from down south. 🤿🔦🐑
Hi Jo Oh my goodness What a lot of baby lambs You have now well done Stay strong as your dad is watching over you Love Kim xx
Definitely going to be a memorable year but not sure which way yet!🤦♂. Sounds like you’re doing well considering the conditions at the minute 👍. Hopefully we’re only getting showers this week🤞
Lambing has officially commenced. Even though your dad is not with you there in body. He’s perched on your shoulder say Joann you can do this you can do this. xx
Hello both. 😊😊 some times all the rain does your head in. Lol We have had high winds keeping us awake. But like you say it's not that cold. Seeing new Lambe come into the world is So precious isnt it. So beautifull to see. Mums licking them clean. Glad some inside for a day or two. Take care your both doing a great job. 😊😊
Great video Joanna the lambs are looking great good luck with the lambing 👌
Some nice lambs there!
Keep up the good work and good luck with the rest of the lambing . I love the early mornings when the sun makes a brief appearance and the birds are singing Praying for some dry weather!
Joanna your dad will be watching over you and Nick and he will be proud of the two of you hope the weather picks up for you 👍👍👍
It’s been horrendously wet and now more storms, it’s the toughest time to be a farmer. I doubt some spring crops will get sown. But I expect lamb prices to remain high and it might not make up for lost lambs/ewes but it will hopefully help 🤞
ahh youll be grand ,hah ,,itt.ll bring may flowers ,the rain 😂😂😂 👍👍👍
I read that when the swallows return that good weather returns.
Hugs from BC Canada. Your dad would be so proud of you. Best wishes
Hope lambing goes well for you. Just when it starts to dry up we get more rain ģ
When my niece had her sheep lambing was my favorite time of year.
Just a great job...now Keep Calm and have a cup of tea ! Love your videos always !!!
Best use for a hair dryer.
You've got there.
I know just how you feel about wanting to tell your dad felt the same thing lots of times it will get easer just as the bloody rain will will get better great to see some lambs all the best you guys with the lambing Rx
Hi Joanna , what a good start . Thankyou for the vidio . Take care .
It will get better Joanna you have made your dad very proud , Good luck with the lambs,
Yes love the Enigmatic Wild Ewe with the lamb & Excellent seeing the New Born Lambs So Adorable Joanna & also of your grief I'm on your side and well done for expressing something so personal & moving. Amazing beautiful misty conditions & yes all that bloody rain !!! I fully love your farming warrior spirit riding all the tough moments & seeing the positives ones. Very sweet seeing the Triplets & The Lamb getting the warmth hairdryer type treatment how very sweet & seeing the Ewes gently glancing towards the camera and then pushing out the lamb or waiting for your gentle encouragement Lots of love Joanna & Nick xx
Another good video and I hope you have a successful lambing 👍
weather this weekis not too good but hopefully it will improve in the week after ........with a bit of luck the bulk of them willhold on to the lambs till that week
That was a class video of your sheep 🐑 girl and l am so sorry about what happened to you ❤❤❤
I'm sorry most of the Uk/Scotland farmers are struggling with the wet and cold. Comming up on the 16th 36 years my Dads been gone
I recommend listening to "Visiting Hours" by Ed Sheeran. It will make you cry but it fits your relationship with your dad.
Lovely and babys every wear the rain will go soon ok be safe
I was wondering if your funds could run to a tough poly tunnel you could bring the sheep into, giving you and the sheep an easier time and better lamb survival. I was able to keep the sheep in until the lambs had filled their skins. You are doing a grand job and I am sure dad is very proud of you and Nick. Lammacs would help keep the wet and wind chill factor from affecting the lambs.
Good woman hope weather get better
I heard some farmer lost 300 lmb in the borders last Wednesday/ Thursday. Now that's enough to finish anyone. Cammie from sheep game is having a terrible time aswell.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, you guys got this
Sending you love! Was a lovely real video 😊
Excellent work,
Sure wish you and nick would get some dry weather.lt would make your lives a lot easier.i feel for you but I am sure you will carry on just like your day did.stay safe from Canada.
Great start to your lambing, let's hope for better weather so the lambs can feel the sun on their backs.
Great to hear the sound of the lambs👌
Lambing time is a exciting & Interesting time at Dale farm 😊
9:16 love that footage.
Joanna you had to go and make me cry didn't ya !
This reminds me of A Christmas Romance (1994)
aw hun your doing great and your dad knows hugssss
sending hugs your dad will be looking down on you and be feeling very proud must be hard with just you and nick with caring for your lambs and looking after the campsite stay strong take care ---and it will stop raining one day
All those beautiful babies. I wish the rain would stop for you. Hopefully, you'll have a better start of lambs then Cammie has.
Jo, best wishes, keep going and just to say what a fantastic job you're both doing, but the sooner this Spring is history the better, it's just god awful. Best wishes from EA.
those lambs and mamas are so cute! its sunny here in wash for now it is suppose to rain again here later! have a blessed day
Best of luck with the lambing season on the farm and fingers crossed 🤞 for an improvement in the weather 👍👍👍
Jo stay strong your dad is with you. Mf he would be so proud of you if he was here your getting no chance to do anything with the weather conditions were getting think positive Jo stay strong 👍👍
Sandi Brock started her lambing off with 3 preg tox mamas and they had babies 8 of then 2 born dead makes 10 then 2 mamas dead so lots of baby bottles for her, already seems like your doing better than her hugssssssss
Hope the weather improves and the lambing continues to go well
Oh, I wish that rain would go away. I wish all the ewes have a good birthing.
The weather! it's just not giving you a break. I watch the Sheep Game, he's in Scotland, terrible weather, and Zwartbles Ireland Suzanna Crampton, terrible weather. Your lambing so far is really successful, great looking lambs; Cammy's has been pretty gruesome so far. But it just seems at the moment that the entire UK is literally under the weather.
Have u considered making an area for the sheep for when they are lambing so they are indoors in the warm it would mean less loss and having to deal with hyperthermia lambs also. I know u try to bring them in but wouldn’t it be easier if they were housed and u knew around the time they would be ready to lamb? Just a question I know most farmers bring there sheep inside during lambing season especially in the uk
Could you film how you get the ewes and lambs in the trailer. Thanks
Yes
54 so far for us. Busy…!
Hope it goes better than Cammie from the sheep game start, it's grim viewing.
thats like Sandi Brock she started out rotten
Then Cammy had the dog attack to top everything off.
