Have you ever wondered
Our ewes & lambs grazing together in our upper west field. This flock moves daily onto fresh ground with the use of electric fence.
Lambs are naturally curious and love to climb whenever possible. Sure footed and bouncy, this rock pile is a rare treat to play on.
Our sheep get sheared each year for their comfort and health. We take the best of the fleece for our yarns and roving. The remainder of the fibre gets put to use building soil.
These chicks are feathering out as they run freely in our small brooder barn.
Our broilers get moved regularly from area to area with portable electric net fencing for protection and containment.
We move our laying hens every 3-7 days, depending on multiple factors. They get fresh ground and the ground gets fresh nutrients without getting overwhelmed.
