Greg, for multiple reasons I think sheep are the livestock of the future, and your videos are helping many enthusiastic beginners-- thank you

I don't mind the wind. Thank you Greg for sharing your knowledge. I can hear you just fine over the wind.

I never liked sheep until I bought my first pet sheep🥰 they’re so innocent and docile

I love when you identfy grasses and forbes. What cute sheep! I also love sheep math!

I think That some of the babies with patches around their eyes look like cartoon characters I wonder if someone would draw a picture of one knitting a rain coat out of plastic for mom since she lost most of her coat? I wonder who developed the woolly sheep I think sheep like that must require a lot of hands on to keep them healthy. I have watched shearing competitions it’s astonishing how fast they can remove the fleece.without harming the sheep nor themselves. I am off for an early night I think I must have counted to many sheep today! Good night see you later 🤔🍀🌟☘️🌟🍀👋👋👋👋🍀🌟☘️🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🍀🌟☘️🌟🍀👍👍👍👍🍀🌟☘️🌟🍀😘💕💞💕🙋🏼‍♀️

Outstanding view of your flock.

Want to thank you for all your info. I got my power flex up and pulling 10000. Love it!

Thanks for the video! Sheep are awesome when you have small acres. Our sheep are doing well. I can’t believe how fast the lambs grow just on grass. The ewes look in good condition too. They love dandelions. Actually all our animals eat dandelions first. I went to the doctor yesterday and tomorrow (Friday) I get my neck fused. The doctor said I will feel lots better.

Greg I really like the way strip grazing with sheep helps clean up the brush! If you ever get the sheep over our way it would be awesome way to thin out the stuff that would eventually need to be brush hogged.

Stunning! So different from our supposedly “green and pleasant land” cropped short pastures in 🇬🇧 dispersed with clumps of nettles that the sheep won’t touch. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Will you be grazing cattle through this pasture again one (or 2) more times before leaving for winter stockpile?

Looks like y’all kept the right ram! Reminds me of Joseph’s coat of many colors. Birdie and Apollo say thank you for the lovely video.

Beware of the baby Lamb Mob, four cuties

There is just something relaxing about listening to Lambs!

I could watch this sheep video all day. So peaceful. 😊👍👍

Solar grazing, and the demand for sheep on solar, is going to make ewes and lambs very valuable in the future.

Thanks for sharing!!!!

🐑 awesome,love your videos. definitely doing it right keep them coming 🐑

What a great video! I guess it is a toss up because these lambs are just so cute. I have always liked the cattle videos with calves and you talking in the background. But these sheep videos are just as good. It seems all baby animals are cute as the dickens. I really look forward to these. Pastures look great this year and you are continuing to get some rain. Looks like another super year at Green Pastures Farm in Central Missouri.

Videos fine as is...gives them a natural feel. Thank you!

Beautiful herd

I describe this a beautiful painting i dig it 😍

My sheep are what buy any winter hay I need for the entire place, good looking flock, low maintenance! I would like to know, how do you market your ewes that become too old to be profitable lambing?

What a beautiful ❤️ world!!! Just amazing!

Cute sheep 🥰

Awwwww! I need more sheep.

Ive said it before.. I SERIOUSLY dont know how you dont have a bigger following!!! I would LOVE to meet you! Id LOVE to chat with you about setting up my new place even! God Bless you buddy. Keep going!

We are focused on teaching and sharing what works to build a profitable grazing operation. We must be willing to change the old ways of doing things or most livestock operations are going to go broke. It’s already happening all over, with sky rocketing input costs folks are being forced to sell out.

Hey Greg, Emailed Jan the other day, looking at getting a few wethers to start our grazing on our farm curious if you still had any sheep available this fall. Thank you!

Very cute.

Nice

I love the color in your lambs. We have Katahdin ewes but a Barbados/St. Croix ram to add some color to our flock. We got him late so we won't lamb for another month. -Mike

So, 1/4 Katahdin, 1/4 Romanov 1/2 dorper might be a mix of genes were looking at. We have some good ram genes built up from our vet sheep ranchers program, big old rams, seem to do their work well.

You cannot use cattle mineral for sheep as they can develop copper toxicity at relatively low doses, so make sure you provide sheep-safe minerals and keep cattle minerals out of reach.

Our livestock spend their entire lives out on the pasture. We don’t have any lodges for them, waste of money and it is not healthy for them to be in a lodge. Great place to pick up a disease.

Mr Judy during the advanced grazing school this year and in several of your videos you mentioned taking the bulls and rams away from your heard and exposing the ewes and cows at specific times of year. For a person with a considerably smaller amount of acreage than what you have, how do you suggest (that is feasible) doing that if your trying to avoid feeding grain ie putting them up in a barn? Right now we have cattle but thinking of adding sheep at your suggestion during grazing school due to limited water access and steep terrain. I can’t figure out how to keep the males separated when they need to be without putting g them up in a barn

In full disclosure, I couldn't be much more ignorant when it comes to sheep. That being said, I had no clue there were so many different breeds until I started looking into buy a herd. Is there a certain type that works better for rotational grazing? Sorry for the dumb question.

Greg - Is there a way for me to contact you directly regarding the purchase of your sheep?? We have 25 acres in Tennessee and with all the information we've learned from you, we're ready to go the next step - adding sheep!!! Thx for all that you do!!

Morning greg. How has your sucess been of ewes feeding triplets? Not a common thing here in Ireland.

What age do you sell the sheep, and what's an avg price? If you don't mind saying

What is the breed of sheep you have..?

With a stocking rate of 6 +/- sheep per acre, does that imply that the lambs are part of the 6+/- or does that imply that only the adult sheep are being counted for the stocking rate and the lambs are not counted for the stocking rate? Thank you.

Video Idea.....I'm looking for a specific video I cant find anywhere. I just bought 5 ram lambs this year. My plan is to keep the best 2 for breeding and then the other 3 will go to my freezer. Next year I plan on buying as many ewe lambs as I can at the time, probably around 10 and do what you do and just have the rams separate in the summer pretty much. Here is my question. How do I go about breeding these ewes without inbreeding problems in the future. Do I cycle rams out? if I keep a new ram lamb does that mean I have to then get rid of the mother to make sure inbreeding doesn't happen once I put her son in the next year. He would still have a bunch of sisters running around from the year before.....I cant seem to find a plan for this anywhere. I know i should keep at least 2 rams because you shouldn't have one alone. I was thinking....I heard about tribes in some country that will put a apron kind of thing over the rams they dont want mating. What if I just put that apron on one ram and let the other do the breeding for that year and then the next year do it to the other. That would make it a linebreeding type situation, kind of. Like I said I cant find information anywhere.

I wish I could find some lamb raised in the US in our local Sprouts or grocery store. The only grass-fed lamb I can find comes from New Zealand, which seems to me a heluva long way to come from. I'm thinking, this is California. Don't we have sheep here?

That is awesome but to be fair.... how many ewes do you think were toting around quads thousands of years ago? In my mind, they probably never had the opportunity to see 3 or 4 lambs through while foraging on their own. These ewes are provided protection from predators and have the benefit of managed forages daily. I always figured a sheep was wired up with short gestations and multiple births with the expectation of mortality. I would consider a ewe that can wean 3 lambs with very little added inputs to be a rock star. If that ewe is going to be able to wean 4 lambs, I would want those lambs marked; because that genetic potential could be very valuable. Thanks for the reply.
