Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

Aria is so pretty and getting a cute little bag. The dampness from the fog won't hurt them. They have a thick layer of inner wool that keeps them warm. Sometimes mine stay out in the rain when they have shelter to get under. They are wearing leather and a winter short wool coat. LOL

That is so heart warming to see your eldest staying with the sheep.

I love my hubby and the present he got me. Wyze cameras and solar panels to run them so I have sheep shed cam!

 

[Baymule]

That man is a keeper! He knows the way to your heart. No frou-frou stuff for you, give you something sensible that you have a use for!

The kids visited the sheep. Aria was NOT amused.

I moved the electric fence to new area but not let sheep in yet. There are ALOT of honey locust pods in among the grass even though I fenced off area directly under tree. It's listed as safe fodder in several experiments. I'm just worried about them gorging and upsetting their stomachs. @Baymule do you have any ideas?

 

[Baymule]

When I put the sheep on new grass, I limit them to 2 hours and provide plenty of hay and baking soda. So if you are worried, just let them graze it for a short time, then put them up. Then you can see how they do.

Aria’s belly is dropping. I have her due January 3, it could be a week or two later. But she’s looking like it’s soon!

So I got a sprinkler tripod to irrigate the section of pasture sheep will go on after the current one. I hope to get the winter rye to grow. It is super short.

The current paddock has bare spots. What would best seed be to sow or should I just stack some of the rained on hay there?

 

[Margali]

Ugh, these seedpods came in with the hay I think. They are super stuck in Snip and Panda's fuzzy buts. What kind of brush to pull them out or do I just leave them? Don't want them to work to skin and cause issues.

 

[Baymule]

Winter rye probably won’t do much growing until early spring. Bare spots are not surprising this time of year. The soil may be not so great there too. Putting the hay on it would increase humus and help the soil. Good idea.

Grass burrs. Comb, brush and scissors. Put the burrs in a bag, don’t drop them or they will grow and give you more!

A gift that keeps on giving!
But most hay has grass seed in it. So that is a good gift! Check it. You could even throw seed down and cover with hay.
