Kodesh Acres - This is my journal about sheep

That week of hot weather has triggered the spring shedding. They will all be scratching soon to help shed. You can get a cheap roll of coarse jute rope to wind around a board or some all natural broom heads to bolt to shelter as scratching posts.

Thank you @Margali will look into the broom heads, we try to give them trees as much as possible but we don't have enough to have 1 in each paddock yet.

I use beef bones and I don't have any dogs. Wonder if there is anything else I can do with the bones once the broth is done

Add to the soil under tomatoes??
They love calcium.

Dottie is getting big! She is due in April.

The hay feeder was my first DIY project EVER. It has never been knocked over, even when the ram was in with the ewes and used it as a scratching post. It has to do with the way the legs are built. It is an easy build, you just need 3 pallets. I can send you the link to the YouTube video I followed to build it or you can look up How to build the 3 pallet hay feeder by SSLFAMILYDAD on YouTube.

Awesome! I’ve got palettes I’ll look on YouTube! Thanks

Your kids, brothers kids, doesn’t matter, it’s all family. You are having a profound impact on the children.

Today we made the ewes and lambs paddock bigger.

Snickers is still in his own paddock, here on the right. We are still rotating everyone every 3 days.
