I have so much respect for you and the work you put in. I can barely keep up with my daily life and caring for a quarter of an acre vegetable garden!

@buck187uga 2 года назад

Also coyotes will watch your property for weeks and wait until you leave the homestead to strike so keep that in mind set up trail cams to see if they creeping

@markpiersall9815 4 месяца назад

A lot of what coyotes eat are also eaten by Screech Owls. Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Rodents host ticks and attract pit vipers. They probably provide an excuse for Coyotes to sniff around. Ward them off by having resident Screech Owls thin the mouse and Vole buffet.

@servihomestead4324 3 месяца назад

Very true, Buck. Coyotes destroyed our flock a few years ago.

@adriennevanrossum9412 2 года назад

Use a 164ft piece of rope. You will take the guess work out of where the fence will meet up.

I love the Katahdin ewes we have! They are such friendly lawn mowers... and compost boosters!! The chickens get along with them too. I appreciate you bringing up how society is shifting, i.e. government overreach and supply chain breakdowns... stay sovereign, stay curious!

@Rubyred1216 2 года назад

How do you collect sheep compost??

@sbctdizzle1 Год назад

Was thinking, as I was watching this… for future moves in a system like this, you could get a stack of wooden stakes, and different colors of spray paint. Pound a stake in near every fence corner. This way when you come back to that spot in your cycle the next time, you will know where your corners should be for easier laying out the loose fence, and the brush clearing prep. Each paddock in the cycle, use a different color for the corner stakes as you pound them in, so you don’t mix up your marker stakes when you come back to set up next time.

I'm really happy to see that you're using your Shaklee basic H product. I have been using it in my garden for almost 30 years with many benefits to the plants & to the soil. I also have used it for a wormer for my pets. As a prior distributor of the Shaklee products, I have found numerous uses for the product line. Believe it or not I don't even use shaving cream anymore. I just lather up with a little bit of basic h and shave away!

How are sheep in a tropical rainforest I wonder. Parasite cycles is definitely a thing to look at but I would probably need to give them a barn of some sort as hoof problems may developwith constant wetness.

@n-richedacreshomestead6348 2 года назад

Awesome video, I’ve been doing the same with my 4 goats for about two months now with good results. I assume you are leaving them in the paddocks at night, but are you providing any shelter aside from the forest canopy during rain events? Currently I am utilizing a central area with a covered, three walled shack when we get rain. It’s just a pain to move them to and fro. Considering building something portable to eliminate the extra steps. What would you recommend?

@NaturesAlwaysRight 2 года назад

I've heard goats need a shelter more than sheep. So far both my pigs and sheep no shelter but I always have a thick canopy somewhere in the paddock for them. Come winter if it's a cold rain then I'll probably set something easy up, if lambing I have a barn. We'll see I'm still learning and seeing what works well for others.

@vn3593 5 месяцев назад

Haha, I’ve had those recks many times😂 if you are going to keep sheep for the long term you may want to think about getting a Border Collie, they will bring the sheep to you.😊

@bassplayerpapabear 2 года назад

This is a really interesting idea! How many acres do you recommend for starting sheep? I'm on just under an acre

@NaturesAlwaysRight 2 года назад

If you bring in hay/grain to feed you could raise them in just a pen. But on an acre 2-3, and you'll run out of grass at different times of year. You'd need to create a grazing plan so they stay off of areas for a couple months. Up to 5 if you supplement a lot. These are just educated guesses though I don't have enough experience.

@carlhutchinsondotcom Год назад

Curious why you didn't just put a fence up to guide them from one area to the other. Seems far simpler.

@PraiseAladesohun 2 года назад

Thank you for the good work! Please where can I get this type of netting for my sheep and what is the price? I reside in Nigeria please. Thank you.

Beware coyotes they run thick out here in the south especially when they get hungry in the winter random gunshots in the evening can help keep them away or a good dog or donkey

They aren't the right breed for good milk. I don't want the responsibility of dairy right now. I have friends with a cow and Mennonites nearby.

I've heard with with roosters, you can climb on top of them, gently, while pushing them into the ground, to "dominate them" and show them who's boss... so they won't attack you. Can't you do something with the male sheep like that?

@BushImports 2 года назад

My mothers dad raised sheep, I actually have a blanket made from some of their wool . I can't raise livestock because I live in town. What I've heard from a cattleman is that they don't like sheep because the will eat everything including the grass roots, I assumed that is why there are sheep herders so they can watch them and move them periodically and protect them from predators.I don't know if I have ever had lamb or not, I didn't growing up I know, I did have some gyro meat a neighbor bought from a deli somewhere here in town that was supposed to be lamb and it was really good, it was flavored and mildly/pleasantly spicy. I hope they work well for you Steven. My take on the supply chain fail is that it was all intentional.

@Spang0G 2 года назад

I love your videos dude! But did you know goat meat is the most eaten meat in the world , as is goat milk! Sounds strange if your European or American but it's true

@NaturesAlwaysRight 2 года назад

Yes I have learned that recently, it blew my mind. Makes sense though when I think about the landscape and infrastructure of a lot of the world. You need a big facility and cooling/freezers to deal with and store cattle. Realizing their size and lack of needing much infrastructure is one of the epiphanies I had about why sheep and goats really are the ultimate homestead animals and that's why they are the most utilized animals in the world.

@farmingknowledge1291 2 года назад

Hi , no offence , Im muslim and we prefer sheep as much as goat but we use goat meat more than sheep bcoz goat is cheaper than sheep. its only price issue.

@pineforpryo9118 2 года назад

Try growing your own grain

@Belialith 2 года назад

Yea, what I noticed, is 'their' way of doing things is useless, totally monetarily materialistically oriented without any thought as to how their actions affect Humans, animals, plants and the planet. So they were ramping up the volume of their genetically modified 'foods' so that you are left with almost no nutritional value, which means your body is starving, and you continue to eat, but generally, you're going to turn to sugary and greasy foods to try to get a fulfilled feeling, which never comes. But when you grow your own foods, without their chemical poisons, you find that the food is packed with nutrients. And therefore you need less of a product. And when you eat it, you feel satisfied, you feel good, your body is healthy, so you don't need to eat and eat eat eat eat more and more because, you get everything in that small value packed nutrient rich food you cared for and grown yourself.
