Taming Sheep | Homestead Update

[@Christ.is.the.reason]

Animal trust is build over consistant, predictable actions, tone of voice, respect & listening. & or course... time!!!

[@tworebelsoffgrid]

We just started building our homestead and want to raise sheep (amongst other animals), so it’s good seeing how your sheep are adjusting. Looking forward to more of your videos! Take care!

Oh my, Little Buddy is becoming a young man complete with some shoulders starting to get broader.

[@kimalots9353]

Great seeing a video of you at home with your Critters. Little buddy is sure getting big and the Sheep don't seem to mind him. Keep the updates coming :-)

Hi Dan and Little Buddy, Very strange Summer in VT. The Heat was so extreme that my Cucumbers are growing into balls 😨. I picked them all off now that the weather is 80° and under . They are growing straight again ! Sorry your Lambs are skitty still. Try having Little Buddy scratch them with a stick. He is shorter and not so intimidating 😊. Nice too see you both 🐦. JO JO IN VT 😆💕

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

wow! That's hot for VT, right?! I didn't know cucumbers did that.

[@joanneganon7157]

@@TheGrassfedHomestead It's way Hot 🔥 for us! LMBO I didn't know they did that either,it's a first 😰. JO JO

[@sandratorchia4803]

I have missed seeing you! Happy for the update! And loved seeing Little Buddy looking sharp in the shades.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

He's cool 😎

[@brianphilbrook5262]

Seems all is well there out west. Them tractors sure are handy. Wouldn’t trade mine for anything.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

I don't know how I made it without it in the past

[@tuttler8339]

Love the bees!

[@williambryan2804]

The sheep seem to like Little Buddy.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

yes!

[@rootedlifehome]

So sad Dan... your not doing more videos. I hope your doing well. Winter is coming and thinking of you during this time. Be blessed. LISA

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

Thank you, Lisa. I'm still making videos. Just less often.

[@Gardengirlie04]

Huh.. the sheep weren’t nervous around Little Buddy…..

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

true!

[@jylking6313]

Thanks for the update. Did you have bees last year? I was wondering if your property is near napweed?

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

yes, I've had them every year since 2017 but only in the warmer months of the year

[@lindaford5488]

Not sure what happenes but you dissappeared of my you tube for a while. Not sure if google was cutting you out but sure glad I looked for you.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

Yeah, that happens a lot

[@crystalaber1836]

Where did you get the pen for the sheep? We are getting some and would like something similar. Thanks ❤️all you videos. Learning a lot

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

A friend of mine welded it for me.

[@wendykruk1288]

I want to do sheep so bad love watching you

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

I hope you get your chance!

[@Cristian-JustKeepingItReal]

Can the batteries be damaged sitting on concrete?

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

some batteries can but not this kind

[@edpeaceofmind]

Do you process your sheep yourself? I’ve been thinking about getting sheep 🐑. Yet kind of nervous about it.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

I do. I have a few videos about it that show the process. Give them a try!

[@itchyasian4592]

I have had store bought lamb before and the taste differs from store to store. When you cull your sheep does it taste better? or does it have that strong lamby flavor?

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

katahdins have a mild flavor - way better than store-bought

[@sofaz9006]

How much milk per day?

[@shepherdewan]

Do you want give Annabel a cuddle

[@josephhall2858]

Why do you have the sheep in the mobile pen rather than in netting?

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

saves a lot of time not having to set up and break down fencing every day

[@josephhall2858]

@@TheGrassfedHomestead great point. Did someone local make it for you? Looks very similar to Justin Rhodes

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

@@josephhall2858 yes - local welder friend

[@lindabeachey6228]

Can you help me with something? I am trying to send Jonah Rhodes a card and I can’t get a P.O. Box number to send it? Do you have this information.

[@TheGrassfedHomestead]

I don't know their PO Box #. I'm sorry!
