something bad happened. Vlog 239

here we go rodeo time oopsie it is always the days I want to quit that something [Music] you hey guys it's Tuesday um I actually wasn't gonna do a videos today it's been um it's actually been a tough day last night late just before I went to bed which isn't good for me someone brought it to my attention that one of my youtube videos was a guy took a couple chunks of one of my youtube videos and put it on an activist YouTube video I've never called out that side of our industry because I don't want to ever be targeted I didn't want I don't want that negative attention I'm I'm quite honestly very intimidated by them they've got power and they've got money behind them a big piece of me knows that that's where their values lie I think you know they care about the animals and and they don't agree with what we do and I totally like I've never actually condemned them I've always given them I've actually just respected that they that that's their values I've never tried to throw my opinion on that whole thing I've you can go through any of my videos I don't think you'll ever find me talking smack about the other side but this is pretty violating and I've been nothing but honest so um anyway I was in no mood to do a video the day is turned around and it's all thanks to you guys I have a cup I got a gift in the mail this always happens like a day when I have nothing left in the tank I get something like this it is always the days I want to quit that something really good happens all right I'm gonna open this gift see it we got sorry guys this might be boring video I'll go check the sheep after this and and see cuz I promised you that you would see all the weaning much better today again so every day they are getting better okay just a second this is from hillary plata from Anaheim California [Applause] [Music] [Applause] be nice little card nice note for me Thank You Hillary this is amazing god oh my goodness that is so cute thank you and you know I love coffee so that will get used what's a Disney mug and of course everybody knows my addiction you guys continue to just amaze me so thank you for all that this is this is the day is turning around for sure well we on day three post wean hi Billy baby Billy are you dad let me say hi [Applause] good all the wall that's because so many heads trying to get in at the same time well they're like running to it like they did yesterday so we must haven't figured out walk by it does that mean you know good hey bottle babies bottle babies have a dot on their bums oh yeah good that tail it's hard to stay in a bad mood when you love your job there can be some tough days but if you love what you do you can push through can't believe how good these guys a transition okay so good all right we're just in the you barn I want to check those yous and let you guys see how they are behaving today sounds pretty quiet to me so far and just like that she came right when I was going to the house she's a good girl come on four-wheel drive lady [Applause] a board would have got it hey guys it's Wednesday so we had a really tough day yesterday it is late afternoon I have just put the camera down today and my phone down today I'm still kind of reeling I have a bit of a migraine I'm such a whiner I'm sorry I wanted to come in quick I promised you I would show you these people week so what are we now it's Wednesday I mean them Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday so this is post wean day for you quiet so they're doing well just mid-afternoon chill I'm gonna run across the road and do chores cross the road and take you over there and we will check in on those lambs ken let's go I feel like this was just Groundhog Day you guys just see the same thing every single day hi guys don't be shy birds are chirpin today inside hi they are fine so that's four days post wean so we're sitting in at about four o'clock in the afternoon the good thing about this barn is if I don't make it if I'm busy doing stuff and I don't make it back right away there's always lots of feed and in the bunk area and that's a good thing about these feeders right because I can fill these feeders that would last oh I didn't fill them yesterday I found them two days ago and as you can see in the sight glass they're still full it's probably still up to like they're so they're not eating a whole lot yet and that's a good thing with having a little bit of hay and a little bit of grain they can kind of choose what they want and not overload their poor little rumens hey if they if they didn't have anything to nibble on they would they would really just pound on that grain and I and I truly feel like that's not the greatest thing to just feed them especially when when it's the week you wean them I think they need a little bit of both why I do that is I just pull all the hay that they couldn't reach I pull it out cuz it's good hay still and I leave just the stuff that they have right in front of them is really it's really picked over and almost woody so what I do is I just grab the big fork clean that all up throw it in into there this is backwards into their pen push the good stuff back in and then I'll top it off with some fresh hay someone actually asked me in the last video could I just use that hay and gather it up and put in the TMR I could do that if I have my telehandler over there I hear I could totally do that but it is across the road I don't always come over with the with the loader but you're right that's a good idea if I didn't want to waste the hay I could totally do that just just texted me and her and her team won their school curling championships maybe she says off to AUSA so that's I don't know what what that is short for but that's good for her she needed some she needed some good stuff to happen morning it's Thursday it is about day Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 5:00 post wing pretty quiet still I would say it's safe to say that everyone has successfully weaned probably by day three three days for weaning I think I can attribute a lot of that to actually moving those lambs right out of this barn and taking them across across the road we have the finishing barn over there and because they can't hear each other and see each other it makes that transition much less stressful so I would say weaning has gone off really really well I was gonna wean this next group on Saturday but Carissa has a wedding so I'm I'm thinking I'm not going to do that till Monday Monday's family day so she has a day off school so I think I have her Monday unless I can convince my daughter to help me hmm I'm thinking I'm thinking not apparently I get a little grumpy err with my children than I do with other people's children when it comes to a weaning laughs so I don't know if I can convince her to try to do it with me again it might be fun might be funny for you guys to watch anyway I think before I get chores going I want to actually sort this barn out a little bit better now that I have that group of weaned use I want to throw them not throw them I want to put them in a in the pen at the fire kind of at the far corner it's a little smaller pen so it doesn't take up as much room and I can but the group that I shared I want that group all together for feeding and everything and just getting used to each other so there's no stressful reordering of that group because there is there is a bit of a pecking order even with use they they tend to be a little grumpy with each other as well until they get there on their order their pecking order I think that's the plan for right now okay I got the barn kind of set up for what I want to do so these ladies are gonna go in the center alley for a second and then the pen that's a very plant their own but that pen way back there it's the perfect size for how many use I have in here so I'm basically flip-flopping the pen and then I can open this whole side up for those sheared views and they're beat those are gonna be the next ones that are lambing so I'm gonna be cleaning out this barn I I would have done it already but I'm actually waiting for my service guys to work on my telehandler there's a pivot point that I'm just a little bit scared and Mark ordered me do not use the grapple without getting that check so I think I think I'm on the books for either this week or next week to get that fixed so I'm just gonna have to live with that letter being kind of deep for for a week or two the closer I can get it cleaned out - what - when they're gonna lamb that the better it is I just I want it nice and clean for those new lambs and those new lamps don't come till April so the goal is to have it cleaned out that second last week of March but it's really deep so it might have to be a double job and I have to do it now and do it then so but I have to wait all right are you guys ready here we go rodeo time [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] against at least two things together now so they're real [Applause] [Music] for good reason it's hats [Music] you [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so I want to put these guys all back together kind of selfishly a little bit I do want to be able to feed them all together so they're all getting the same reaction they all get fed the same ration so I'd love it if I could just take the cart straight down this right now it was feeding over here I'd have to take the cart all the way back to the feet or fill it again and then take it to the back corner and it's just any any efficiencies you can make on certain jobs on your sheep farm it's just it's more time that I can spend observing or doing a management job and not tedious things like that that could be made easier by just literally taking five minutes and rearranging your pens okay it's the afternoon and there's something that I've been needing to do I've haven't been crazy happy with how much paint has been smudged in the steel ramp end so the the new Rams that I got it just seems like there's a lot of green paint still now it could be just I have good paint you and it just takes a lot more to smear it off because they do look pretty ruffled a lot of these years but I'm just so scared they're there on week three today there's still another 12 days left of breeding so I might have already missed some of their cycles but I'm wondering I talked to my vet and he was like it would probably hurt to grab a few of the big suffix because they're black headed in blacklegged I can actually add them to this group and if they if they actually conceive their babies should have black heads and black legs I'm going to do that right now probably not gonna happen so I might have to actually [Music] move them through the Hamleys there's so much I didn't really want to do I might actually push these guys just back a bit and then have a little plan I can okay I'm talking to you guys not to myself even though when you the camera's not on I will have the same conversation [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] place [Music] [Applause] okay we'll just watch these boys if anything it might just stir up the other ones which is not a bad thing either see her paintings not not at all off so I'm just this might not be a bad decision I almost wish I did this a few days ago don't double up girl yeah can you believe that that's all it takes a little bit of competition it's been a whopping 3 3 seconds and a Suffolk has already bred a you twice now I'm freaking out a little bit is this whole group not Fred freaking out a scent freaked out I'm freaking out [Music] [Music] [Music] the big boy is not impressed by the other big boy the suffix nips Emoto don't fight here we go oopsie I think they're lovers not fighters I have it locked you guys stop well someone in the other pens following suit I didn't start off for this to be a breeding video I thought most of the breeding was done [Music] you
