Harry your videos are great. They give us a peek into what it’s like to take care of “our sheep and goats” even if we can’t be at the farm. Looking forward to more adventures.

Wonderful job, Harry! I think I see a future for you in FRONT of the camera. Looking forward to more! What a great way to keep us all connected!

Fabulous–great job, Harry. I particularly liked the Elvis impersonation. LOL Looking forward to more!!

I am loving your videos, Harry! Thanks so much for showing us ‘A Day in the Life’ – I hope there are more to come!

Great videos Harry!

Now, someone find a contest where we can win Harry a prosumer level HD video camera so we won’t need dramamine to watch the videos!

wow! you are looking so professional, Harry. Soon you will be sought after by all of the movie makers! You might want to list your actors (including goat and sheep) EVERYONE LIKES TO SEE THEIR NAME IN LIGHTS.

Another Brilliant work. I can’t wait for the next installment. Glad to see that Logan made it down off the roof in time for a cameo. On a side note, the Jackson family request more Oregano and Mr. Baloney. We are thinking next year they will be bound for Cannes

Harry, I hope that you are going to make this a regular feature for the Fiber Farm. What fun!!! Gives us all a chance to feel even more a part of the goings on. Steven Spielberg watch your back!

Thank you Harry and everyone else at the farm. I loved the narration – you have a great sense of humor.
The video was riveting …. who knew hooves were like potatoes – but take a lot longer to peel.

Harry, I loved the videos. It’s great to see what really happens behind the scenes at the farm. I also love your comments. Keep up the good work.

Megan February 22, 2009 at 4:01 pm

Harry you are fabulous!!!! I hope you make more videos its great to see the critters and the folks who take care of them. Stay classy!!!!

Harry! I love these videos! You’re funny. I never thought that hoof trimming would be so fascinating, but I really did enjoy watching that.

I have a question- does Erin have veterinary training, or are sheep injections something that you can just be shown how to do? I fluctuate between thinking I’d never want to do that and thinking it looks really cool!

Erin McCabe February 22, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Hi Jenny! I don’t have veterinary training – Susan showed me how to give injections when I first came to the farm, because at that time she had a kid who needed vitamin shots several times a day. Then she went on vacation, a couple other kids got symptoms of the vitamin deficiency, I got some tips from our vet and then I got a lot of practice giving shots (20 kids x 3 shots/day x 3 days). The injections you saw me give in this video are subcutaneous (under the skin), which are pretty easy and the animals don’t seem to feel it as much. The hardest part is usually finding some loose skin. Intramuscular (in the muscle) injections are harder for me, because it hurts more and the animals tend to cry.

Great job, Harry – now we’re talking some serious production values. Very nice touches. It has a bit of a “Heraldo” feel. And I mean that in a good way. Keep it up!

I get to trim 5 alpaca’s toes on Saturday. Now I’m really in the mood…

Tara580 (on ravelry) February 23, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Totally awesome!!!! It reappeared the other night… I love these video installments! I have my sister who taught me to knit going to read this blog now!!!! She is the reason I am addicted to YARN!!!! WOOL!!! YAY!!! Great video Harry! Keep ‘em coming!

I love these videos, great job Harry! The guy trimming the hooves sounds like Hawlkeye on Mash. I love seeing the farm more and the process the sheep go through. I’m really curious about the process the wool goes through though, in order to get into the shareholders hands (hint hint).
