We use this same product to spray our yard to help keep mosquitoes and ticks away, looks like I will be trying it out with our goats(maybe not the milking does during the time we are using the milk).

So I was reading the article on how you could fed your sheep the Garlic Barrier and came across a term I did not understand. Maybe someone could help me out:
"Once the kelp is coated with the cooking oil and garlic mixture - get enough salt (sea salt is preferred) and coat all the kelp that you have just mixed with the cooking oil and garlic mixture. Do this only in she shade - not in sunlight. Feed this to the sheep."
What exactly is "she shade"?

Looks like a typo, THE shade, not SHE shade. LOL

Teresa had a long conversation this morning with the farm I'm going to pick up Max the ram. It's funny that they got into raising sheep almost exactly like we did. and have had them for going on 8 years. They also had never had sheep before they bought their 25 acres and immediately stocked it with registered Katahdins. He is my age and she is the same age as Teresa.

Holy Crud $75 for a gallon

It's just garlic juice why are they marking it up so much? I think I'm just going to buy a bag of garlic at walmart for $5 and food processor it, then strain and mix in 0.08oz citric acid and 1 gallon of oil. 20oz bag of garlic should make 16oz of puree or something close. Should be the same or really close, as long as it has 12.5% garlic per teaspoon it should work.
