1/2 Acre Sheep Pasture Overview & Afterthoughts 

Lordens living on one channel and laid back lordens living on the other channel. Makes total sense, most channels now have 2 channels, i love the direction you are headed! Its great so far.

Okay... I'm still trying to figure out the difference between the channels... On one you show the work and talk about it.... and on the other you just talk about it. Right? Okay... to each their own, I guess. Ummm... I wanted to mention, though it's been years, I used to use a lot of black iron pipe... strong and sturdy... and, for me, easy to work with. I used it as a framework to hang the netting/fencing on - all sides and over the top. It worked VERY well for me... and at the time it was pretty cheap. I ended up using it in ALL of my closets as it was much stronger than your standard closet pole. Of course, it's for YOU to evaluate. Enjoying the uploads... and glad you are having fun.

This sit down and going over your project is great, I so enjoyed it and you are both so relaxed and enjoying life. Much Love from Canada

Great video ! Love the sit down & reflect what you went through to building your life and your beautiful homestead. Looking forward to many more of your awewome true life videos!

Great job. I love the gate, y'all did a wonderful job on that. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.

Word of the day - Ram Lamb.

LOVE the new formats!!! Keep them coming!!

Ram/Buck lambs are good eating at 10 weeks to 6 months of age. My tractor shed poles are 8” diameter debarked Cedar 4 ‘ in wet clay and 26 years later no rotting at ground level not exposed to rain or snow behind sheathing.

Use barbed wire for the bottom run on your fence - will stop predators from trying to get under the fence and you won’t have to worry about the bottom wire shorting out the fence.

Loving the vids, glad things are going really well for you now. All the best from Wales, UK.

good job

Small trailer behind the Atv works well

Once you set up an electric fence, you should keep it energized all the time. It will keep grass and leaves from growing against it. If you shut it off for three weeks, it will be grounded out the next time you turn it on. If your fence gets grounded out, it will draw a lot of power. but if its not grounded out, it draws almost no power.

Will you seed and run a sprinkler in that run to get grass to grow etc? That way you can alternate between the two runs to give it a chance to recover. Great idea. Awesome teamwork. Keep going. Thanks for sharing

first thing to do is get them to know when you call them and always stick to the same call both of you dont matter much what call you use just make up one then i use a coffee can with about a inch or two of grain and shake it while calling them it works for me just dont feed them much grain it makes the hooves grow fast and can lead to problems I have about 35 of them and sometimes 40 but great job I love watching your progress

Hopefully on your new channel Liz will do more commentary. The homestead channels that seem to grow have content from the wife. Please don't just just Martin Johnson as your model. Look at WWOG, Good Simple Living, Off Grid Life, Lumnah Acres and Trent&Allie.

Guys use 3 ropes on each side to make a temporary chute between main corral permanently attached and with hooks on grazing pasture gate posts.

Hello, just a suggestion. It may be something if you used tight chicken wire to stop the baby from getting out. It keeps chickens in, why not baby animals and then you won't have to maintain the bottom as the sheep can graze through the wire. 😊 Love your videos thank you for keeping us updated!

Maybe add corner bracing at the top parallel to the gate along with the longer lag bolts. Maybe use two strands of something like Premier Fencing to stretch from your barn to the new pasture to guide the sheep before you let the chickens out of their coop. Premier-like electric fence should be light weight and easy to put up and take down. As you look for more pasture areas, they could be used as a quick electric fence until you need a more permanent solution.

Continue the good work 😊😅💜

So everyone I see complaining about feed prices seems to be buying by the bag. We’d always get our feed from a place selling by weight. You’d drive onto a scale in your pickup truck then a shoot would fill your bed and they’d weigh you at the end subtracting the start weight. Only thing that sucked is getting back to the farm and shoveling the feed into the feed dispenser. Think feed was cheeper that way. Is there no place like that in your area?

i suggest electrifing the bottom wire so the lams learn not to push through also sheep dont need wires above 3 foot because dont really jump

👍👍👍

strip your logs and in the old days we would tar the bottom you might even get a weed burner and char the poles

Isn't a "needed" work a good motivated one?...😊

Do you have now 2 RU-vid Channels ? i don,t find it a good idee🤔

👌🏻🌼

Use a grain bucket

Don't leave the bottom wire electrified during the winter. It will drain the battery

Hi guys, maybe you could get your dogs to herd the sheep.

The guy looks like it's in the wrong place I don't understand the placement of the gate

the lording 👎
