Grass is so tall it's hard to find the lambs out there. Seems that everyone is swimming in hay this year around here. Ironically, we scaled back the number of ewes we have due to slight over grazing last year. Now, it seems we could use a few more sheep to eat up all this grass.

quotingKatahdin Hair Sheep completed the first grazing loop!

It's been just over a month since the sheep started grazing. The pasture has recovered well, almost a little taller and more mature than ideal. Several paddocks were only grazed for one day or skipped entirely so hopefully this time around they won't be back here for more than 60 days. The longer the pasture can rest the lower the potential parasite load will be upon returning to graze again. There is a balance between returning too soon and letting the pasture go to seed and becoming less palatable for the sheep. Dancing with nature indeed.
