Sheep Farming - Quick, Easy & Simple Way To Feed Sheep
This is how we feed our sheep. Not much technology except a used skidsteer. This is just one Britespan barn. We have two more the same size plus an old dairy barn and feed approximately 500 sheep/day at the moment prelambing. Morning chores take about 1 hour and evening chores 45 minutes.

Nice to see such a beautiful setup of healthy sheeps, which breed of sheep is this exactly ? How many kids does it give an average or every birth ? What are the baby birth weight average ? How much weight does this sheeps gain feom birth to 6 months of age ?
@EwetopiaFarms
2 жыл бұрын
The ones with the black heads are Suffolk sheep. They average 1.8 lambs officially but it's not uncommon for us to average 2.0. They weigh about 8-10 pounds on average at birth although singles at 15 pounds are possible. Suffolks average a pound/day for the first few months with average weights of 100 pounds at 100 days. After that, growth slows somewhat. At 6 months a ewe lamb would be around 140 pounds and a ram lamb 160+ pounds

Which sheep’s are best used to make wool and shearling coats
@EwetopiaFarms
Жыл бұрын
Difficult to say because all wool is used for different purposes depending on qualities. Softer fleeces are used for finer items whereas coarser wool would be used for carpets or jackets. So it would depend on what you wanted to use the wool for. And I assume any could be used for shearling coats

How much quantity of corn you are using for each sheep ?
@EwetopiaFarms
2 жыл бұрын
It depends on their condition. At the moment, breeding ewes are getting about a pound a day split into two feedings because they are in good shape. A month before lambing we will increase that amount a little. Lactating ewes get about a pound a day morning and night for the first month and a half and then we trickle it down to nothing by weaning

@@EwetopiaFarms I still think I would try to figure out some way to rig up a winch system or even a pulley with a cable that the tractor could pull. That way you could set the bale in place with the tractor, add some kind of center spike (like on a tractor bale unroller) and then use the cable and mechanical power to unroll the bale. At least in our part of the world the typical round bale weighs between 800 to 1,000 pounds. Arnie may be fine pushing it now, but we all get older or have physical issues from time to time. Even the flu or a sprained ankle would make your system VERY difficult to do then. I guess I just think like this because I homestead with a disability, but it is something for us all to consider.
