Here is my promised windbreak video, hope you find it interesting! Overview: 8’x16’ 10’ tall @60 degree angles. Shooting for about 75-80 coverage. 4”x4” for skids, white oak is great but pressure treated works as well.

Last winter, we bale grazed our sheep and goats, and to be honest, it worked quite well. I’d make some modifications if we do it again, but in the meantime, I picked up a 3 point bale unroller and we’re trying that method so far this season. Jonathan talks about some observations between the two practices.

It’s December, we’ve got snow and it’s cold. I’ve been working on a new windbreak design which I’ll detail in an upcoming video. Stay warm!

We have a limited number of breeding quality bucks available. These fellas are the best of the best from this year, and will put a stamp on your kid crop. Contact me at redlanternranch@gmail.com if interested.

We’re grazing our native pastures at home and since it’s only at about 5-6% protein right now, we’re supplementing some protein via a lick tub to help keep our utilization and body condition up going into late fall. #regenerativeagriculture #sheepgoatfarming #farming #adaptivegrazing #intentionalgrazing #smallruminants
