Hi friends,
I’ve really been enjoying an early spring this year, which has been very nice. Although the weather has cooled down, the grass is still growing like crazy.
The sheep (and myself) are getting antsy to get out in the pasture. They got a little taste of the green grass this week as a test, but I’m excited to have them out on pasture full time on the fresh grass, where they can start harvesting their own feed and we can start rotational grazing, which helps the land and grass to rest and recover in between grazing times, and also helps the sheep to be healthier and happier.
Earlier this month we wrapped up the mower project. Since then, we have been focusing on preparations for the summer, which includes getting ready for the broilers that will be coming later this month and making sure that the chicken tractor and other supplies are all ready to go after sitting all winter.
“The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.”
