Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LAMBING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS (How to Raise a Small Flock of Sheep)
Q: Jessica asks how you know how much a lamb has eaten.
If a lamb has had a belly full, it will stretch and stand after feeding; a hungry lamb will hunch and hobble. Use that “hungry hunch” as a cue and supplement as needed to ensure adequate intake.
LAMBING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS (How to Raise a Small Flock of Sheep)
Q: Allie asks, if your sheep has mastitis, do you cull them?
Cull mastitis-affected ewes that show ongoing mastitis issues, ensuring the lambs can still be fed from healthy mothers; mastitis can recur and affect multiple lambs, so culling is a common step when milk production is compromised.
BEEF CATTLE GRAZING TIPS (with Karl Ebel)
Q: How do you handle drought and adjust your numbers?
Stocking rates are kept conservative to allow for drought; I stockpile forage and move to higher-protein supplements when needed, adjusting herd size temporarily to maintain the land and ecosystem health.
BEEF CATTLE GRAZING TIPS (with Karl Ebel)
Q: What is the calving season and how do you decide when to calve?
Calving is scheduled to align with favorable grass conditions; I aim for a spring calving window starting around March 1st and ending mid-June, with careful planning to ensure calves are born when pasture quality supports their growth.
BEEF CATTLE GRAZING TIPS (with Karl Ebel)
Q: What kind of grasses are you recommending for goats?
Goats are browse-heavy and do best on brush and broadleaf plants; if your pastures are predominantly grass, sheep might be a better fit, but goats can thrive in brushy areas with rotational grazing.
