Livestock Care Videos
I frequently scan the web, looking for the latest and greatest info on small farms and hobby farms (pretty much interchangeable!). I was pretty delighted to find Livestock Care Videos on HobbyFarms.com, especially in light of the discussion on this blog regarding the care of sheep. These videos are sponsored by John Deere. You’ll find the following videos about sheep care :
- Docking a Lamb’s Tail
- Castrating a Lamb
- Giving an Injection to a Lamb
- Correcting a Lamb’s Position During Birth
The following links are to sheep shearing videos, so you can see how it is done. In these cases- how it is done correctly.
Rural Route Videos - various sheep shearing techniques - this video is for sale
When to Shear Your Sheep - and other videos on sheep care
Hopefully these videos can help explain how sheep are cared for and what is required when raising them. Videos usually beat books when it comes to visualizing how things are done!
Hey,
I just wanted to say how great your blogs are- I’m gathering research to start planning a small farm and you have such great information that’s from experience. Though, I am sad to see that your last post was in January… I hope you continue this in the future, because it’s a bit of a godsend.
