Those are probably some of the happiest and most fulfilled dogs in the world. The tails wagging when they ran over to bark at something then hang with their buds for a minute tells it all.
Greg I'm glad y'all tried the goats and learned what you learned. I completely agree with your assessment in your situation. My situation is a bit different, so I do think I'll have a few goats on this small tract (where all perimeter will be 4-5 strand-more if I find it necessary. I needed to know the feeder trick, thanks. And after we clean up some briars and brush I'll probably transition to all sheep.
Thanks for the video! I was going to do a video on some of my finished fence, but the wind was awful. I know you have way better content than me so it makes sense for you do it rain, shine, snow, and wind. I’ll do my video another day because I like to go back and see how things have changed. I had someone ask me to put out more videos so I’m going to start that back up.
We had sheep and goats along with cattle when I was 'a kid' and goats are terribly hard on your fencing spending more time eating tree leaves than the grass you have for them. A lot of homesteaders romanticize having goats but I'm with you, sheep and/or cattle only. We had wool sheep but if I got back into livestock now I'd investigate the hair/meat breeds unless I had someone interested in weaving.
I didn't think the goats would measure up to your sheep. Glad to see you sticking with just the sheep and love your sheep content. Do you have any pure Anatolian dogs working? Fast as greyhounds, beautiful, fearless, quiet.
I'd love to be getting me some fence posts, etc., but cash flow is a bit of a problem right now. I don't have a problem keeping my goats in, but I don't have the same sort of system as you do. Mine are free ranged during the day and penned up at night.
Planning for ranching as a rookie 🏞️ 🐑 🐏 🐾 What is best? Acquire flock and LGDs at the same time? Or 1 before the other? I wouldn't want to get a flock and have it unprotected. At the same time, getting LGDs first and then they don't have a flock to protect. Everything including animal additions & dynamics are processes in themselves. Each one, especially different species, takes time to acquire, work with, creating an overall lifestyle. Blessed be 🌈 Rae Fae
I'm in western Canada. I buy organic meat from a private farmer. He advertises in carnivore Facebook groups and has a good website. I would recommend selling that way if you're allowed to wherever you are.
Greg and jan when you hear of Spanish goat stay away from them. l have been using your 1 strand temp fence inside 5 outside for a year now works great for boar goats
Hi Greg, wanted to ask a quick question. I’m looking at getting poly wire and was wondering if the 2mm would be thick enough for running steers on? Thanks I appreciate it.
@@Marilou-g5t I have 3 hectares of my own lands to sow grass and few hectares of fields around which noone use. First I want to have mikk goat and then jersey cows
It's never that simple until you've established in your area. It's a very common question and is rarely answered except to say: Your land/weather and your animals and your management will be the ultimate determining factors as to how much land each animal requires. If all goes well, you start under capacity and work towards it AND the capacity will increase according to your management of the microbes. The closer you're running to "capacity" the more vigilant one must be adjusting for "shortages" of weather/management/luck to keep from over grazing. Never over-graze. Sell at any price to avoid over grazing the plants. Best of luck.
thank you greg for being so consistent doing these videos ... powerful
So happy to see more sheep content!
Same! This is the occupation I dream of. And I am going to make it happen!
I love the sheep content
My favorite sheep videos on RUclips from Mr Judy’s herd. Nobody else really shares grazing videos with small ruminants in the south like he does

We used the discount to purchase water lines and supplies. It was helpful. Thank you
Love seeing the farm and all your critters! Love from Cali❤
Love to you big sis!
your making a huge difference

Great stuff! I don't think I would try to sneak in with those sheep either. Lol
love this channel

Can you do video on how to sell your meat?

No we use the 3 way cross..Anatolian, Pyr and Marremma
Do the dogs affect the whitetail hunting around the land the sheep run on?
Love all your videos, thanks Greg. Do you cover your marketing on your livestock both sheep and cows in either of your schools?

Goats! I thought Greg Judy disliked goats?

How do sell your meat lambs? I could raise sheep but I don’t know how to sell them in the most financially smart way.
I need to buy how do I get this

The only polybraid we use is from Powerflex, the 9 conductive strand mixed metal. Still works fine after 17 years!
Greg, what is your average monthly cost for dog food?
Around $40 per month for one dog.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher not bad at all… thanks for the reply Greg.
How many hectares are needed per sheep/goat?
Depends on your soil health. Best to be understocked to graze a paddock and give it plenty of time to recover and regrow.

Wonder if you can do that is a rainy climate?
What part of the country?

How do you keep the ants out of your dog feader?
I'm no expert but methinks that he feeder being constantly moved does that. I think the sheep/goats are moved every two days.

My personal experience is not to use net for anything that you don’t want to catch…terrible stuff especially for goats.
I guess all the info is in the title?
see video ... false christ comes first
