Join us on an unforgettable journey through a challenging lambing season during a holiday weekend, when our usual student helpers are away. This in-depth video documents our trials using a new breed, the Texel ram, which presented us with a new set of challenges.

Witness firsthand the dramatic moments of our first sheep aborting with a bizarre-looking foetus, followed by the struggle and eventual assistance required for a massive lamb birth from a Texel ram. We explore the viability of using terminal rams, discussing the potential benefits and significant challenges, such as increased lambing difficulties and higher mortality rates.

Experience the highs and lows of sheep farming, the critical decisions we face, and the implications of breed selection on both the health of our sheep and the overall farming operation. Additionally, see how lack of sleep and high-pressure situations lead to poor decision making in the farmyard.

This video is essential viewing for anyone interested in sheep breeding, agricultural science, and the realities of farm life. Whether you're a farmer, student, or simply curious about rural living, "Lambing Drama: Giant Lambs, Strange Births, and Sleepless Nights" offers a unique insight into the challenges and rewards of lambing season.

Thanks for watching, see you next time...
