I can't read ear tags on sheep very well. I run my ewes through the race and paint brand the on the off side just before lambing on pasture. A few hours after they lamb, I use spray line and number the lambs with their mother's number. I use blue for ram lambs and green for ewe lambs. Visible numbers can help in mismothering or lost lamb situations. The two different colors helps me to easily draft off the ram lambs from the ewe lambs in the fall. I also put a red dot on the withers of triplet lambs and usually pull the smallest male to go to my neighbor that buys all my bottle lambs. I also, check eyes for inverted eyelids and dip navels. I ear notch twins to make it easy to sort them off later to retain for replacements or potential rams for sale.

Maybe you’re not feeding her enough? Also, I know you said she’s your livestock guard dog but you should think about getting her groomed once in a while if you do not already do so. Just my opinion but I don’t know anything about you or your situation so take it with a grain of salt because I could be wrong.

Awesome! Where does the soil come from, and could this be explained by the weight of the chain displacing soil and burying itself during weather events like rain?
@tamaracklambwool3192 ай бұрын
The soil comes from repeated grazing and trampling of vegetation that is broken down by a healthy soil microbiome.

Hello! I’m also in MN. I run cattle and goats and just purchased some hair sheep about 2 weeks ago. I do not raise any hay. I purchase it all. I usually roll my hay out VS bale feed. I treat the cattle and the goats in the same manner in regards to spring green up. When I unroll hay in the pasture and they leave well over half of it, I’ll either cut back or quit feeding entirely and let them start grazing. I don’t leave them very long on any 1 paddock so it gets eaten down too much. Then I probably won’t come back to those paddocks until late summer or early fall so the grass has time to recover. I don’t calve or kid until the first of June so the does and cows can get into good body condition prior to that.

Everything in nature feeds something else to complete the web of life. To keep animals just for grazing means having to plant *more* row crops like the soybeans in this video for human food. So therefore not using the grazing animals as food means destroying MORE habitat for wild animals just to feed ourselves.

It's not a myth, it's a scientific consensus. Sure, some animal farmers are less bad, and some plant farmers are terrible ecologically, but that's not science/facts/logic etc
@tamaracklambwool3193 жыл бұрын
There are many studies at universities around the world over the past century that examine the impact various agricultural practices have on soils. What we have long known, It is very difficult to build soils without animals. This is actually ancient knowledge. What modern science has done is to discover exactly how grazing animals contribute to carbon sequestration and soil health and what type of grazing management optimizes the process. Grazing ruminants are part of a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide array of native wildlife. Human food crops otoh are monocultures that use herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides essentially to sterilize the soil to eliminate all competition. The latter is not sustainable as it leads to soil loss. We have only 60 years of topsoil left.
