Hello there. I haven't heard very much about Navajo sheep, or Navajo Churro sheep. I hear a lot about other breeds quite a bit. But nobody ever talks about the navajo sheep breed. I'm very curious to hear about them. Are their genetics totally separate from European sheep? (People like to argue Spaniards are responsible for Native American livestock including horses). I've only heard 1 side to this and would like to listen about it. How are Navajo sheep with parasite resistance? And can they do well up in northern states? One of the issues with other sheep breeds is that many of them have poor disease resistance, and are reliant on modern tech made medicines to keep them alive. And the only ones that aren't seem to be St. Croix blends / hybrids. But the problem is, the way civilization is going we might need wool sheep in the future (even though people say they aren't wanted now). And we might need sheep that are naturally parasite resistant if we can't get tech reliant medicines, or if such medicines are unavailable due to high cost. The country is rapidly heading to impoverishment and decline of Metros and loss of self sufficiency and wealth due to manufacturing and industry having left the country and transportation logistics becoming increasingly more problematic. So if there are breeds that are more naturally able to 'stand on their own' with less help I think people will be more interested in them in the future. ... I remember when people a long time ago used to get grazing permits from the state... I'm not in AZ (UT). And because of this, there used to be less worry over fires. Well they cracked down on permit grazing for BLM and national forest areas in many western states. And now those areas are unable to deal with fires anymore; where before sheep used to help with keeping the burnable fuel under more manageable levels. Historically much of the last 150 years, in Utah Ramble-As (Rambouillet) were used and fairly hardy.
Dennis, I can't believe, just stumbling over You on RUclips! Bill has brought me once to Your home and introduced me to all of You. Margit, clay plaster girl from germany, perhaps You remember. It's so nice to see You, and I wish and hope everyone is doing well. Much Hugs!
❤ it's very interesting. Good job Dennis and flavie!
Thank you! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this informative video. I've been intrigued by the concept of solar grazing. How did you suffer a loss of 90 head?
