Using Sheep to Clear Undergrowth
Our Sheep really do, even after two years, still amaze me! Just look at the beautiful work they have done in this area. When we put them in here three days ago, you couldn’t see through the undergrowth. Now, after just three days they’ve done an incredible job!
The photo is actually four photos stitched together.
In the upper two sections notice the area in the back; the back center.
See how thick the growth is at ground level and above?
Now look at the two Lower Sections. Yes, they over lap a bit, side by side.
Although it’s astoundingly obvious how well they’ve managed to clean it!
The reason this is so important to us is it helps open up the canopy and and that allows more sunlight to reach the ground. The increased sunlight helps spur more growth, especially grass growth. Which is what’s needed to help restore this old field and help bring it into grass and forage for hay.
I hope I’ve made it evident in my description. The bit of shade from the large saplings in the Center of the top section is not that shown in the bottom section. The open space in the bottom sections is the back center of the top sections.
Have questions? Want to see this for yourself? Want our sheep working on your property?
