    Hi..... Jason and Loraine nice to see you Love watching your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

    Jason, a suggestion for the sheep: since you only have 2, make smaller paddocks to force them to mow things down evenly. The big paddocks are problematic as they don't have enough time to eat it all and pick and choose the very best to eat first. And its not like you can extend the stay in the paddock for them as you don't want them on the same pasture for too long due to parasites. If the paddock size now is based on the size of the fencing you are using, maybe use 1 net to make two paddocks.

      Yes great idea. Also sheep are also naturally more skittish, witch is why herding is a thing with them

      We don't feed grain, but just enough to tease them so they'll follow. That worked til our ewes had lambs and the lambs couldn't figure it out and didn't care about grain. The lambs stayed back during a move and the momma ewes wouldn't leave them.

    Podcast Topic; Camarata Video an hour ago 'Bad Day doing Tree-work' without fire extinguisher in reach, his Excavator ( his biggest ) burnt to ground, he was helpless until fire department found him, miles up mountain, had he had his own Firefighting equipment, ( water tank ) it also wouldn't have been in reach, regardlessly, only a working fire extinguisher can save the day !
    The Fire extinguishers that he then bought require Servicing / Recertification twice yearly !
    Andrew replaced Excavator with a new ( same ) model, zero hours of use on meter, the fire started small until it got big !

    Still "on the fence" about whether to do our own meat chickens next summer, so I'm always enjoying information about the process. Excited to help some friends process their chickens this fall, after helping a few weeks ago for the very first time! I would definitely love to participate in one of your butchering workshops if we were a little closer. I really enjoy learning from you both!! Blessings, Marie

    Love your videos, I watched many videos some multiple times during the duration of my raising of freedom rangers, just ordered some Cornish crosses less than a week after killing the rangers, but did terrible at keeping up with consumption quantities. So going by what you said they average about .3 pounds a day per chicken. Also didn’t even think about organic by the tote we are super new to this thanks again for your awesome informative content!!

    I got so lucky with my first batch of Freedom Rangers. They have the CX gene in them and were ready to process in 7 weeks. I actually kept two of them as egg layers. Those two and two slow red broilers are egg laying rock starts, dropping 3-4 eggs a day on average. Little slow down right now with the heat (FL) but I'm super impressed. I have 14 week old Cornish Cross roo and two pullets coming up that will join them soon. Should be interesting to see how the meaties perform as a flock. So far a 1.5 years it's gone better than expected.

    I love how the piglets won’t get near you when they’re first born and now they’re all around you for the scratches and pats! But I also saw the water running out of the hose when you were giving water to the pigs and when it doesn’t rain for a while, every drop is precious. You could use a spray nozzle or just fold the hose over about 10” back and hold it till you get to the water pan and back again to the valve at the tank.
    Not a homesteader but I enjoy watching your channel and a couple others. Today’s video really shows how much is involved in raising all the critters. It’s not just food and water, it’s equipment and land management, even (relatively) minor surgical procedures. And I learn something with every video! 👍👍👍

  • @MadeleineHaggkvist
    @MadeleineHaggkvist 6 месяцев назад

    Sheep don’t like overgrown grass, they like it quite short. I think they will keep it down better if you mow so it’s not so overgrown before you let them on it to graze. Not right before though, you don’t want them to eat the clipping, but some time before so it’s not so overgrown but the new grass has started to grow again after the mowing. Sheep also tend to be less skittish when there are at least 5-6 of them, they need a herd to feel more safe and confident.
