The pastures are winding down with this grazing pass, the sheep are looking to the woods for forage.

In about 10 days the sheep will complete the 4th grazing of the pastures here at the homestead. The pastures are looking ready for a 5th grazing but in addition to the grass I will start pruning branches from the trees that they can't reach to provide more food to help the lambs grow larger and develop a unique (delicious) flavor profile.

By the way, if you're within a couple hours of Baroda, MI we still have 2 lambs available for butcher. DM for details!

It's weigh-in time for the lambs


We are doing a check up on the sheep every couple weeks this year and a weigh-in for the lambs once a month. The flock as a whole are looking very healthy with only a couple needing a dose of wormer. The largest lamb is 86lbs and the average weight is 67lbs. The lambs are averaging about 10lbs larger this year than the same time in the previous season! We have also had zero losses this season so the more frequent check-ups seem to be paying off. I wonder if we will end up growing more pounds of lamb per acre this year even though we have fewer lambs total?
