We're Levi and Krysti operating Rocky Knob Farms in Ohio, USA. Join us on the farm as we raise commercial hair sheep through an intensive grazing system and our young sons Charlie and Noah.
We hope to show you what daily life and chores on our small mid western farm are like while raising toddlers.

Oat & Straw Harvest | Small Family Farm | Summer 2024
Hey friend! Thanks so much for watching out straw and oat harvest video. It's obvious in our video but there were a lot of people involved that didn't make it on camera - this can't be done with out the whole family coming together and working side by side. Our oldest nephews are such big help and built a lot of muscle over the week we baled all the straw.
We're currently using the oats to feed our lambs because it is getting dry and we are quickly running out of fresh grass.
If you're looking for sheep, check out our website and the for sale page. We currently have ewe lambs, ram lambs and a mature ram for sale as well as guardian dog puppies.

As always, thanks for being here and watching our video.

What are you expecting to get for your fat lambs$$
What do you feed? How much and fo your sheep habe year round access to pasture or are they dry lotted in the winter?
So your plan is to sell the lambs at a certain weight to a packing plant. Can you explain more about that and what it is?
Condensation..?...you need to open up your sides ...sheep can stand any amount of cold ,just keep them dry .
Good luck young farmer family
Love your explaining!❤
Sweat shirt and no pants?
Good observation, but why the concern about her not wearing pants? Lol My ex husband would wear shorts most of the year, and that's in west Canada. Heck, there were times I'd come home from work in a dress, and put on rubber boots, a chore coat, and head out to the barn to catch horses or move cattle. Legs, I find, can handle chilly weather easier than our arms and core. That's all I've got to say about that 😊
@cinders302 😂 agreed, just looks like sweatshirt only.
Now we wait for lambing!! 😊
Kip up with good work always after solving all those problems results coming in as the saying is after a raini day always San comes in 🌦 after all 🌧 needed for the grass to grow the results will show respectively
Fascinating !!! ❤❤❤
How many acres do you run 450 head on?
About 275 of pasture
Good story still trying to find my path to full time farming I have a plan but going to take a few years yet to enact. I appreciate the content keep on keeping on.
We're 8 years into this journey, it doesn't happen overnight, you can do it!
Nice how did you seed the grass and clover?
Yes, we did at the same time we planted the oats.
How is that silage working out for you 😊
It's going well! I'll share a short about it tomorrow :)
With so many grow operations going out of business I think we will see alot more of these type structures. Great job!!
Yes very interesting
Wow! What a smooth operation. Great to have the family together.
❤❤❤memories of times gone by nowadays if it ain't got a chip they not interested simple good old splash in the rain ❤love it
Yes, we are here for screen free play!
Yep
Nice. Goats sound jealous 😊
People have forgotten the word Tranquil.

Blue mark?
We marked bottle lambs after they got their vaccines before turning out in the field so we knew who had been done. 😊
Thank you
What’s the blue mark mean ?

Awwww. Using your kids to rob a bank 😂😂😂😂
Too cute for words. Made me laugh out loud 😄
I've seen alot of these and you're the first one who put the right song name on it
Love you ❤🐑🕺🏼🤩🤣
I've seen dozens of videos for this and all are holding the dog the wrong way
So cute, love it! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
late to the video..Most any structure with animals will have moisture vapor control issues. Pole barn builders recommend at least a minimally insulative sheet under the roof tin to prevent dew-point condensation accumulation on the bottom side of the metal, it's a very effective and inexpensive solution. Side wall and roof peak venting encourages air to flow from bottom to top of the underside of the roof. I've never noticed peak vents in a hoop barn. Maybe it's not possible.
Wow! I just found you. We have a small farm with sheep. Love your content!
Thanks for watching!
good* seeds😅
Good Lord we need your help, for the humble and meek of the Earth, to continue each day, pleasing in Thy sight. May true farmers of good things seek Thy guidance and Mercy in order to survive. Psalm 23❤😊
Great video. Katahdin are great sheep to raise. We currently have 8 but I would love to have hundreds. Keep looking to the Lord for guidance.
Thank you!
You guys are doing great. Love your videos. We produce sheep and goats in NorCal, and I'm contemplating going all livestock and just grazing versus haying and raising.
Thank you! Wishing you the best this year!
What breed are your sheep? I run easycare sheep here in N. Ireland.
We have mostly Katahdin with a few Dorpers thrown in here and there. We only have hair sheep.
Mine are easycare, self shedding sheep. I lamb outside myself and rotationally graze. Similar system as yourself.
Awesome! Levi and I did a 10 day study abroad during college in Ireland (republic). I didn't realize lambing outside was possible for your area.
I used to lamb in January - February inside, I now lamb in April outside, by this time we are into spring and weather starting to get warmer. Costs and work a lot lower lambing outside. About 98% of the easycare ewes can lamb unassisted. Down side, lambs a bit slower growing than earlier crossbred lambs.
Hi do you feed grain or is it all grassfed? And do you make your own hay or buy it to get thru the winters? I wish you both all the best and hope everything works out for you.
In the past, we have fed grain after weaning to get to market weight. This year we are hoping to find another farm to lease and grow weaned lambs on grass until they get to market size. We have made hay in the past and have some leftover (that's what is behind me in the barn). In the future we will likely buy in what we need. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for getting back to me. Have a great day!
