So, I recently had a little extra time, despite having a heavier workload! 

In this area we’ve definitely been having a drought, and the grass hasn’t grown since the middle of July, so we’re having to move our rotational pastures twice as often. That’s compounded by the Ban on Entering the Woods! It’s a little difficult to use Woodland Pastures when the woods is closed! Having said that, I contacted DNR, the Provincial number referred me to the local number and they couldn’t answer my questions as to whether or not we could use our woodland pastures! So, I called a Specialist from the Dept. Of Agriculture and at least they were able to carry on an intelligible conversation!  Ask ally, their comments were along the line that they didn’t think I’d have any problem but not to hold them to that! Understandably so, as it’s the Dept. Of Natural Resources that is supposed to kmow! Yet, they don’t seem to! No surprise really! 

Anyway, even with having to move our animals at least twice as often to insure the animals have enough forage, and looking over my shoulder to make sure the Premier isn’t coming with His Ticket Book and handing out another $25,000.00 fine for being in the woods! Seriously! 

And Cow Farts cause Global Warming! lol 😉 

So, anyway, since I haven’t been going in the woods, getting no firewood ready for Winter, and as little as possible with or for the animals, it’s actually given me a little extra time. Working harder, but more time! Doesn’t quite seem possible, but apparently it is! 

So, I’ve created a song, using Songer! Songer is an online platform that lets you enter an idea, piece of writing, or poetry and it’ll give you a song based on what you enter! Then you can get a Free Preview of Your Song! Pretty Neat! Eh?

Briden Farm Sheep Pasture After 4 Days of Trimming

We move our Briden Farm Sheep every 4 Days, to stay ahead of parasites and don’t return for at least 90 days to let the pasture rest and any parasites die due to lack of host. That’s why we move them so often. Goats need to be moved at least every 30 days and Pigs at least every two weeks for the same reasons. The time off pasture, allowing the pasture to rest is usually one year. So it’s all very labour intensive. Especially having to move the Sheep every four days! 

So, I’ve probably seen this happen, and helped make this happen, well over 100 times over the past couple of years.! 

Yet, I’m always amazed at what an incredible job they do! 

Just look…

To me it’s absolutely amazing! A stark difference! It really helps recoup old pasture land. Over time it becomes more hay, and less scrub. Especially when we begin to use Goats, Sheep, Chickens and Rabbits all rotated in succession. We’ve seen it on a previously worked overgrown pasture. Within two years it went from weeds and invasive species to where we could harvest hay! 

In some cases, where the weeds and invasive species really need to be rooted out, we use Goats, followed by pigs. Let it rest and recuperate and then next year use goats and sheep.
 
It’s just an amazing transformation! Especially over time! It takes time, and work! Not,only for the animals, but for us also. If You have old pasture land you’d like restored. Naturally without chemicals and excavators, contact us. Let’s discuss Your situation and see how our animals can help You! Call Brian at 902-907-0770

I’m almost to upset you write this! We have an 8 Week old lamb. He was to be rehomed today to go into a Breeding Program. The people who wanted to but it, had to come from two hours away. They showed up a half hour late. They showed up in a sedan type car, with 4 people, 2 Dogs, and a wire cage in the trunk they expected me to put the lamb in so they could drive home with it! In a wire cage, in the trunk, on a hot day, for two hours! HECK NO!!!

Thankfully someone just sent me some Cute Puppy Pics just before writing this! Of one of our Puppies and showing how well it’s fitting in at its new home. Precious! 

Now, You might think this an isolated case! Right?
