"[Sheep and goats] have similar nutritional requirements." This is false. Copper is poison to one of them, so you have to figure out a solution to feed them separately one pasture, or they should not be grazed together.
@@stoamnyfarms On a paddock with 20 goats and 20 sheep, how do YOU recommend feeding/supplementing one species without the other? Feed them by hand? Use a container that allows goats, but not sheep? Trust the animals to read the labels? Or maybe just put them in two different paddocks and feed them separately because that's the simplest solution?
@@mouseutopiadystopia24601 Cut up banana pieces with copper bolus in them every 6 months. That's how I do it. Give one to each individually. But honestly if you are rotating or doing cut an carry the worm load will be lower and they will get some copper from the grass. There is one female that hates people (she's a rescue) that hasn't had copper supplements for years and she's fine. The big thing is just don't get goat supplement and put it where the sheep can get it. If they are outside they are getting some no matter what.
You were calling yourselves, regenerative, farmers, and you are recommending that people graze 2 inch grass?!?! Allan Savory would be very disappointed in you all
Alan savory technically isn't regenerative he's holistic management :P says down to 2 in. Plenty of debate if a total or partial graze is ideal. Every farmer has to make the best assessment based on their rainfall

This is so much more informative than most videos
1:38. One of these is not like the other.
Seems like cows, sheep, goats and chickens could be used safely on the same pasture , but have the pigs separately because the can snatch chickens.

You just don't give the sheep copper supplements.

Does anyone do the chicken and cows together?
Or chickens & pigs together?
@@hamadilawson4471 pigs might eat chickens. And having chickens on a few days after the others, when fly larva hatch, would be best.
My guineas will fly over the fence and roam with the cattle eating fly's and other insects
I have horses and cows together with chickens able to come and go. They are great at cleaning up! Looking into adding sheep
@@Goldenhawk583 they absolutely eat chickens. I've seen 2 full grown pigs snatch a hen and tear her into 2, and they ate her.
