The "sacrificial area" is doing very, very well!

There are some bare spots, but the ryegrass has really taken off. I haven't had animals on here since late February, except the sheep but the sheep barely eat anything.
I'm seeing bermudagrass growing like gangbusters already. I think I'll have a short or no time lost grazing between the spring grass and the summer grass this year.

Love the ryegrass. How did you plant them? Broadcast or others?

[@lazycowfarms3322]

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

The lambs are starting to limp like the adults, that’s so interesting. Do you think it’s just irritation? One of my ram lambs started limping too

[@lazycowfarms3322]

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

[@lazycowfarms3322]

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!
