Just caught up on a couple of vids with olly blogs. Congratulations on their new arrival.
However - and I realise I am probably speaking out of turn - if it was my new born, especially with another child about, I'd be scaling back my work in the immediate after birth. I'd be wanting to support my other half as much as I could.
Watched today's vid and its nothing that could had been done another day.
No livestock and November crap weather, I'd be have more respect if he shut down his videos for a few days than I do that he is on 1300+ days.

I realise it's not my place to judge but it's just my opinion.

We all work in different ways 👍
Plus remember it’s a 10 minute snippet we see from his day.

I haven't got children myself so I can't comment personally but I think if my dad had hovered around when he didn't normally mum would be in prison for murder she used to send him scampering if he stopped more than half an hour for a mid morning coffee break especially after he got a kindle.

Free Fiona!!!!

Happened to be out and about this morning and saw a daft bunch of protesters (- so I thought?) outside Dalscone Farm, Dumfries. Free Fiona!!! - I did know it was about a stranded ewe but had no idea why they were nearly 300 miles south? I had seen an announcement from SSPCA that the ewe had been rescued - so why did they need to free her?

Reading the Daily Mail and checking Facebook I see that Cammy Wilson (The Sheep Game) and his pals have pulled off a great stunt in rescuing her. (And taken her to Dalscone Farm Park.)

Well done - and I'm glad it all went well!!!

Look forward to seeing the video............ :D

Ffffff sake Farmer phils cattle 🤬 rough as f,,,k ,
now he should take a leaf out of the lad who is talented engineer and shepherd david beatti from cavan , sheep school, good listening and explains things very well
0.2kg a day growth rate 😮, our poor doing lambs at the end have done more than that. They just don’t help themselves with the bulls still running with heifers, some of them poor bulls when they bought them round looked like death. Very poor advert for livestock farming. I thought in previous episodes they where getting there act together but that’s just spending money I toys and not being stock people.
