Wow! Beautiful Beautiful new grazing hills. Simply Awesome! Climbing those hills would be a boot to butt fix for my glutes!🤣🤣😊❤🐑🐑🐑😊

Had someone just today tell me I needed to get goats in here to help knock back all the blackberry briars, privet, and bamboo! The only downside for me is that I just can't manage a herd at the moment. If I could find someone looking for some land to put their own few goats on, I'd be open to the idea. Anything's better than me having to work the weed whacker and all that other jive! Seems like it's a full time job to just keep on top of all these invasive plants, and never any time to get in the forge to make stuff. Something's gotta give, and I'm afraid it's gonna be me! 😟

Thrilled!!!! my comfrey that I bought from you is coming up!! 2 inches tall and it looks like each piece I got is growing. My plan is to try and feed my chicken without buying from the feed store. It is a good goal. I have a struggle trying to get any sunflowers to grow but that would also be wonderful.

My comfrey did equally well! ♥️ I bought a bag of black oil sunflower seeds as an occasional supplement to my chicken’s feed. I just scattered a bunch of them on the ground where I wanted them and they are growing well. Super cheap to reseed what fails.

Won’t the sheep decimate your fruit trees if you allow them to graze this orchard area? Or, if you graze them there over the winter will they leave them alone? Do you put Milk Boi in with them for protection or bring the sheep back daily? What item is the fencing you are carrying in this video? I’ve been looking for a whole kit to use. I enjoy your information so much, thank you!

Awwww...that little guy is SO CUTE. How you keep your electric fence juice up enough for predator when you have so much tall grass that touches and suck up voltage from the fence? Thank you Billy.

@PermaPasturesFarm21

2 ай бұрын

We rely on our livestock guardian dog during the night. The voltage is drained quite a bit from that grass, but the sheep are now well accustomed to it. It sort of like the effects that mirrored sunglasses and the shotgun has on an inmate.

We're in the permaculture planning stages for our land; but most of ours is heavily wooded with a creek running through it. We're interested in rotating pig, sheep, chickens throughout our wooded areas but concerned of the thick understory and predators. We do not have any livestock guardians. What other methods of protection are available? And would you recommend chickens in these thick wooded areas? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journeys; you're an inspiration to us.
