B&B Happy Goats....journal

Hi, just popping in. If you ever want to have a little extra fun with your bunnies try using a poultry brine on them for 12-24 hours then cooking them. I do not like the flavor of rabbit, but it was mostly okay brined. Breading and frying after brining was good too. I liked this brine for bunny the best. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/170656/simple-chicken-brine/

It is a good day to burn today, so taking advantage and clearing up much of the mess I had already made...getting things ready for the rider...

I mow for an hour and 1/2 every day that it doesn't rain but that grass all goes to the sheep. I mow in increments of about 20 minutes several times a day.

Why do you mow to supply your sheep? Don't they graze it? Or do you like the exercise? Or is it your personal yard? If you need to mow an area that is not fenced pasture check out the Premier electric netting temporary fences. With a solar charger you can move the fence every day or so to have them do an intensive grazing in specific areas. We bought a couple 30 years ago but did not know enough abut them and did not use them properly. The new ones come in heavier types that would work for us now with Pos/Neg that would be good for the soil. I really want to try them again but we are so steep and such heavy clay and shale that I am not sure it would work for us. The How To instructions make it look easy but they are on really nice level pastures. Not sure how easy it would be to install on our steep terrain.

I have almost 1000' of netting and we use it all around our place. I only mow like that when we have lambs in a dry lot situation or they are in a sacrifice paddock until they wean their lambs. All of the grass I mow for the sheep comes from our neighbors 3 acres that borders our drive way. I can cut the grass and bring it to them faster than I can move fence and then get the sheep into it plus the neighbors lot looks like a lawn when I'm done rather than a pasture that the sheep couldn't keep up with grazing.

The mower is a rider.

Lol, leon has to mow at least once a week during the summer, it grows like weeds....oh, it is weeds here

Same at my place!!

Once spring happens the lawn usually needs to be mowed about every 5 days until it gets hot and the rain is less frequent.

didnt really think you would use a push mowere, lol

I actually used a push mower with a bagger attachment the first winter when we had our original 10 pregnant ewes but that goes back a ways. We had some really lush winter grass and they loved it. That is also the reason I bought the Cub Cadet with baggers.
