@YoungBuckFarms Never considered that. Do like that on the heatwave, holes they can't suck through milk.

@Ryley179 Less hassle with buckets, gravity always works and if the lambs chew a nipple all we lose is what was in the bucket, where a machine will just keep mixing and running until you shut it off

The rush is about to come. Another 4 fresh ones.

@YoungBuckFarms That's interesting, why the move away from machines? Switched to a heatwave this year and I'm undecided on it. Rideau on Rideau is a lot of work.

@Ryley179 All ewes get left with 2 lambs, unless there is something out of the ordinary. We were using machines, but have gone back to buckets for feeding bottle babies. We have a couple small training pens and then lambs go to a bigger pen once they have the hang of things

@YoungBuckFarms How do you handle triplets/quads? Auto machine?

@Ryley179 High percentages can be a lot of extra work. We've been gradually lowering our Romanov percentage which has cut down on multiples somewhat. We have a system that works pretty well for us, but it definitely takes work.

@YoungBuckFarms Good to hear. Few I've talked to including myself are severely overwhelmed with high % for whatever reason!

@Ryley179 This is the 3rd group of the year so far. Been normal for us. Lambs are all a good size and some moster singles. Mostly twins and triplets and for every single we have another ewe has quads

@BowersJett I called the auction mart that advertises at the local ag college. Paid slightly more than they did. Don't invest too much into anyone at that age/ stage of life.

Question for the ag twitter. Expanding quite a bit. Adding a hired man. What’s a fair salary to start a guy at? Early 20’s no kids no family. Has 2 years experience in row cropping, haying. Some but not much cattle experience.

@kinburnsheep Could you send 5 of those good ones my way please

@NUCLRGOLF I'm coming back @jedgar333

@jsreinecker Downhill ever since you got married

@BowersJett Been super impressed with Deere 5M. Worried I was buying an acreage tractor but it has been awesome.

If you were going to buy a “new” tractor 2014-2018 75-100 horse would you choose ..

@kinburnsheep @bayre22 @Farm_Division Based on the previous owners I would say no lol. Manitoba sucks for every other reason also

Sheep Farm B 16104 159.07 acres Near Stony Mountain, MB * 10,000 ewe state of the art sheep facility * Automated feeding and bedding with ample feed storage Listing agents Sheldon Froese Stacey Hiebert …lepageriverbendrealtyfarmdivision.com/listings/16104…

@kinburnsheep @bayre22 @LMcLachlan60 @Farm_Division We count on $30 minimum, and that's assuming full liners. Which is a whole other challenge unless you have 1500 ewes

@kinburnsheep Sheep farming is an emotional raping.

@LMcLachlan60 You could pay me $121k and I still wouldn't go to a Taylor Swift concert

We have tens of thousands living on our streets suffering from mental illness and terrible addictions. What a fucked up society ……………Taylor Swift’s Toronto tickets reselling for as much as $121K thestar.com/entertainment/…

@bigbushelsag Whoever is on the other end can't hear a thing from Deere bluetooth. Works great when working with family.

@YoungBuckFarms Headed there myself if I can swing it before harvest!

@Ryley179 Good eye. My wife and I love that part of BC and try to take the drive whenever we can.

Keeping the economy going burning some fuel bringing my wife's new tow home from BC

@bigbushelsag Of course it's in Grande Prairie
