DIY SHEEP RACE - for better flock control
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2023
- Using a sheet of tin and old posts I want to make a sheep shoot to funnel and hold my animals in a place so they can be easier handled. I will use this space to routinely check the welfare of the animals.
I want to build an off-grid homestead in Northern Ireland where I will grow and feed my family with chemical free and full of nutrients-packed food on a daily basis. I want to create a healthy lifestyle that my three kids will look back on fondly and to a place they will eventually call home.
My history.
I have a level 3 cert in sports turf horticulture from where I started my work as a greenkeeper working on golf courses. I have spent alot of my working career both around and driving different types of construction machinery. I have also learnt a thing or two working with plenty of highly skilled trades men. This accompanied with my own skill set, creativity, resorcefulness and efficient approach will aid me in turning this 4.25 acres of unused land into the most fertile landscape in the area, using regenative and holistic farming methods to grow my own meat and veg.

Next time ur at the farm suppliers look up a foot bath for the sheep and see if it’s a good tight fit in the wee run there. Foot bath couod be handy for u when the folk grows in size. Ur putting in the hours there it all takes time. Good work
