  Rather than setting up a compost bin at each end of the greenhouse, how about placing each bin a quarter of the length from either end? Secondly, some battery electric vehicles employ heat pumps. These put out more heat than the energy required to run them. Would such a system work in your part of the world? I'm thinking more in terms of shaping the temperature curve on the colder nights, rather than heating all through the winter.

  Holstein Fresian cattle are not as hardy, just like the East Fresian sheep. I believe it is true generally for any species... Think Cornish Cross chickens or Broad Breasted White turkeys.

  Bacteria need water. Iodine or other solution is better for cleaning teats prior to milking. Also good to post dip with iodine or other teat end sealant after finished milking. It takes about 20 minutes for the teat hole sphincter to close after milking is finished. Best if ewe remains standing after milking. Bacteria that get on the teat end can get into the teat and cause mastitis. If mastitis occurs, take an aseptic milk sample to a vet clinic that has bi or tri plates, an incubator and a knowledgeable reader of plate growth to determine treatment that is optimal. Strip/milk out of the affected quarter as often as possible. If the ewe, nanny, cow will not rise, the mastitis has become toxic and heroics are needed. 23% calcium subcutaneously can help with muscle function due to hypocalcemia. If she is walking like a drunk, she is likely hypocalcemic.

  Do you have a video on: the brand(s) of milking machines and what you like/dislike about it(them)? Rotational grazing of horses? Do you do leader follower of species, if yes, which species order do you use? Just saw my second of your videos. We are in north central PA, you probably get lake effect snows that we miss.

  Awesome video, thank you! We've been doing this with our sheep. Unplanned and very unscientific ;) I had started our property focused on small fruit orchards and nut groves then added sheep later on. I noticed immediately they liked eating the leaves and fortunately I always have a lot of pruning to do. The only thing i still can't explain, hoping someone out there can help me out please, is I recently read that all "Prunus" family trees are potentially toxic but man.. my sheep gorge themselves on apricot leaves every single day and they'll always super healthy. Also asian pear, cherry (fruit cherry not wild cherry) and apple. Apricot leaves in particular make up a significant portion of their diet. Yet I read another study where feeding apricot and cherry improved sheep health. I give them a lot of hazelnut branches too which isn't their favorite but they'll eat when everything else is done. For wild trees in our area tulip poplar is their favorite.

  Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I love that the two work well together with pruning and sheep needing food ;) I think there's a lot of conflicting information about tree forage for sheep. I feed my sheep some Black Locust and they eat it up and do well on it, but some people have reported their cows aborted after eating it. So if your sheep are doing well, I say keep going!

  Here on island Pag in Craotia people are so narrow minded. There is more pasture raised sheep than people. In village Povljana tried to buy sheep milk from 3 dairy farms, they are just into selling milk to cheese factory, or making cheese, nobody sells milk. They are so obsessed with getting it salty, dry and hard, and afraid to be poisoned by bacterias of raw milk. My grandma lives majority of her life on sheep island, and she never tried sheep milk. She told me:"don't ask nobody for sheep milk, people don't have it for you, go to supermarket and buy cow milk" that is advice of my 77 yr old grandma.

•

  Hello, I also use the misting system, but I realized that not all crops benefit; For example, it works well with leafy greens like lettuce, spinach or arugula, which have a smaller root system and don't need much water; other crops work too. , but for tomatoes, for example, it will be a disaster, they will be full of fungi on their leaves and will require a greater amount of water.

  It makes sense for the sheep cause chances are not all of the sheep are eating that delicious tree so they follow and run especially if they think you're a sheep as well. Once the stragglers see that everyone is going somewhere they'll immediately follow because sheep are herd animals and a lone sheep is a dead sheep.

  I wonder what would happen if you made a concrete trough adjacent to the greenhouse and filled it full of manure and other organic matter and ran pipes through the center of it. The heat generated by the compost would surely heat the greenhouse as well at night. We have sheep and every spring there is a huge pile of manure and straw that would fill a large trough.

  Awesome! Cauliflower is another! Still harvesting from last years plants! Years ago, I learned of the kale because it lived in outdoor raised beds I had for a childrens' course. They LOVED fresh kale and, in fact, when we started lessons in February and took some into class from the previous beds, they still thought it delicious! ( if we only let kids see, taste, feel grow in nature....!)I learned of celery this past year and have loved it! Grew in my heated GH thru winter and enjoyed until almost the end and evidently voles found them- dug underneath them. (Took me a while to figure out what it was... now I'm trying to figure out control since they have devoured my spring starts. )Picked them off one by one!😢 Nice to have found you!

  If it feels really hard, it might be overfull and be hard to get out, you have to be patient. It might also be a sign of infection, so I would make sure to milk and test the milk for mastitis. Especially if the udder is hard and hot/pink.
