They don't need it. They live on pasture 24/7/365 normally. Sheep have lanolin that makes then waterproof.

Obviously, they prefer shelter. Genius.

I can't wait to try it

@@lazycowfarms3322 Forgot to say mint sauce is a must so good with lamb. But a UK recipe one home made not from a jar

The cows are used to the pen. I just point them in and they go.

That's what the internet seems to say. It's not a big deal unless it gets infected. I'll keep an eye on her.

I'll have to study this.

@@lazycowfarms3322 he is often speaking on youtube videos.

Thanks! I'd love to see what kind of results you get with your grazing. I'm still experimenting to find what works for me and my land.

I would love to get to this point. If I aggressively cull and move I imagine all the parasite and hoof issues will disappear. I have heard Greg Judy say to NOT touch the lambs when they are born, especially if you have a bunch of lambs born at the same time. There's good chance the moms will lose track of them!

I'm going to check them out. The profit margin for sheep is so good that it makes sense to invest in tools to handle them.

Yes, timothy grass almost looks like cattail. My wife is super allergic to it, and lately her allergies have been crazy. Maybe it's in season? It looks like timothy can grow almost 5 feet tall! Crazy!

Lambs are best!

I weighed him this morning -- 27 lbs! I should get a video of the other St. Croix rams. In a year he'll look like them.

It's volunteer. It was last planted in 2020 I think.

Yes, even lambs can have hoof problems. I need to check their feet.

I think I should be more specific. There are 2 big problems sheep get in warm & wet climates, especially if their feet are wet. It is hoof rot and hoof scald. Hoof rot is when their hooves get infected, and hoof scald is when the flesh between their toes gets infected. If you spray them with 5% copper sulfate, or FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS and give them a foot bath with something like Zinc Sulfate, it can eliminate the disease, especially if it is done almost immediately after the first symptoms show up. I'll make a video on this because I just had to do it myself today!

I don't know about that. I'm going to keep the two best steer after I get them all prepped for sale later in the year.

Yes, I got $1.40 a lb for her too.

The issue with 3 days is that that's when the parasites hatch and that's when the grass starts to grow again. If the cows graze at that time, their parasite load will increase and they will kill the grass.

How far out is she? If she gives birth in August or so she will be almost 2 years old.

@@lazycowfarms3322 Difficult to guess a heifer, I feel she won't calve before June mid. Her mom (Blacky) is small frame, with the forage young 20 should not have problem calving. 🙏

We might be cycling out of the cooling phase for the past 100 years we had globally. Remember they used to grow grapes in England in the Middle Ages. The weather around you used to be much warmer a few hundred years ago.

Thanks, welcome aboard. My videos are boring but you are going to see the steady progress I see as I move the animals constantly. In a few weeks I expect the field to turn brown as summer approaches.

😂

> with salt This is the key. If you're not eating your steaks with salt you are doing it wrong! ;-)

I'll check it out. I found two more plants today I haven't seen before, or don't remember seeing before.

It probably wasn't even a cold. He probably had allergies. Those of us who came from the North to the South are devastated by the allergens. Milkweed, ragweed, cedar -- I never knew what allergies were until I experienced that. Right now my eyes are itching, my skin is itching, but at least I am not drowning in mucus. And my reaction is better than it was 2 years ago, when I could barely work at all.

@@lazycowfarms3322 check out Michaela Peterson and the Lion Diet. She's allergic to mold or mildew and has to have minimally aged grass-fed beef, if i recall correctly.

We saw their playbook in 2020. We know what they are going to try to do. Geoengineering? Possibly.
