That was fascinating. I grew up in the country on a small farm. We had friends and neighbors with a few sheep and goats , but I never got to see anything like that. Thank you all for sharing the video!

@ambryacres

Жыл бұрын

Hi! We are only renting the barn. We had access to them and thought it would be a great way to begin with sheep . Our plans were to stay there if it ran smoothly then we wanted to relocate the sheep into a new drive through barn to feed with our TMR and reduce labour but due to incredible increases in building costs we are going to continue as we are doing. The costs for this type of building keeps changing here in our area and have increased more than double what they were just 3 years ago. Sorry I don’t really know anymore what they cost due to the continuing increases.

How often do you clean up the bean straw bedding and replace? Do you do it by hand or with equipment?

@ambryacres

2 жыл бұрын

We use either a tractor or skidsteer to clean the barns out. We add fresh straw every week. We clean the barns out several times a year.

Nice looking youngsters, not Suffolk though, are they clun?

Beautiful barn! The additional sheep looked strong but not as healthy and strong as yours. I’m wondering if you had to sequester the newer sheep before blending them? This seems to me a more sound practice. What are the most challenging health concerns within your flock? From the outside looking in the sheep look amazing that is why I ask. Thanks you for your answers, God Bless! #supportsmallfarms #familyfarmingtastesbetter

hello, how many sheep per square meter?

Great Video, How high did you raise your feeding floor above the bedded floor? if you were doing it again, would you to it the same?

@ambryacres

Жыл бұрын

Oh gosh! It’s awhile ago now. About 10” off concrete floor. No, if we had to do it again we would aim to simply pour a concrete feeding alley but we would have to change the format of feeding. Unrolling bales ever day is not the most ideal for us. However for feeding in this manner, yes it works well as long time is available to remove straw bedding every season to ensure the pack doesn’t get too high as this forces the flock to eat bent over which isn’t ideal as they put pressure on the feeder

Where did you source your tarp barn? I am looking for something of a similar to slightly larger size. What is the price roughly per square foot?

We are renting the coveralls. They were not being used by the owner so unfortunately I am not able to answer your questions. We had inquired on pricing a few years ago but the prices have dramatically changed. Good luck with your project 🙏

Why did you put the water point higher than the rest?

At the time of this video, we did not own any rams. We have since purchased 3. Our lambing is planned to begin the third week of April and we will have new videos on that process coming.

Don't you quarantine any new animals and treat for internal and external parasites before mixing with the original flock? The feeding ally is too wide for sheep unless you will use a feeding cart. Best wishes ❤

@ambryacres

3 жыл бұрын

Ideally we would. In this case both flocks were co-located to a new barn. Neither flock came off pastures where parasites would be more of an issue . Thanks so much for pointing out the feeding alley, we designed it to accommodate the width of a round bale which gets rolled out . Appreciate your comments, thanks!
