👍si, we name ours "Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" too.
I heard of one family that named their turkeys after the holidays. One of the birds escaped and they were hollering as they chased it, “Thanksgiving Dinner, COME BACK HERE!”
What better way to nourish yourself and your family than with an animal raised with love!
Their livestock have the best lives possible and only one bad moment.
That’s how we roll!
Way back when , when we would cut wood for the furnace, the cow would come running to get the tree leaves, even though they had hay and grass. My grand father who had milk cows ( and every other kind of beast ) said it was because they liked the diversity of flavors just like we do.
That’s what I’m talking about!
Back the 1500 an 1600 they call it tree hay
Great video! But I'd sure like to see a follow-up one. I'm interested in how to keep the genetics fresh in a herd sized for small pasture-management scale without eventually having an in-breeding problem.
My comfrey I bought from you 2 yrs ago is coming back up right now. I use consistently the comfrey as fertilizer. I thought waited to long to plant when I received it. It didn’t come until the next year. It’s already up here in Ohio🙏
Yep, mine is 2yrs old, in Ohio as well, and the chickens keep eating it as soon as it's an inch tall🌱🐔
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for your business!
Hey Billy, Here we run a EF/Tunis mix and we are trying to add more pasture by hay bombing…if you’re gonna “hay”, make it “pay”. So not only do we have a stable meat supply but we have not bought milk in over a year. These sheep are a great for dairy, meat and wool. So with that and selling some babies it becomes quite self sustaining.
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Billy my brother.. sheep are over the top right now. A bottle lamb will set you back $200!! It's insane. My issue isn't moving them. It's affording the materials and labor to properly fence their pasture.
For what it’s worth, you can check out the estate auctions for now. The foreclosure sales are coming. You can find some amazing deals if you have the cash. It’s incentive to be frugal.
Sadly, everything is going through the roof.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 It’s not that things are going through the roof so much as that money is becoming worth less and less on the way to completely worthless.
Just look at that forage... So lush!
You should see the videos of what they started with! They earned it.
It’s only getting started my friend!
Great to see the new lambs 😊
They are so cute!
yeah I just had 17 Lambs born and probably going to have four or five more. and the moms were raised 100% on grass and no hay. ran on stockpile all winter. hair sheep are hands down the best Homestead animal in my opinion. I thank God for the good lamb crop
That is awesome!
Ya'll got a bunch of babies this go around. Too Cute.
They are definitely a handful!
Good plan.
Nice new family!
Thank you so much, my friend
Good morning yall!
When you said you are not making a petting zoo...I had to pause and ponder. "Why don't you start a petting zoo?"
Think about it. You need the sheep to do their grazing job, of course. And, you will be culling out a lot of males for meat, of course. But, on Saturdays, perhaps, you could have a large barn and yard area closer to the road for a petting zoo. I think Michelle would really enjoy running something like that. It sure could be a great way to get people into permaculture!
I think you’re making a pretty profound point my friend!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Thank you. I heard of a homestead that was making money, not from their produce, but from setting up a senior living facility on the homestead. One could house people in drug rehab. Or, inner city kids to get them out of the old neighborhoods.
Basically, they wanted to live the homesteading lifestyle, and discovered (probably by a fortunate accident, you know how that goes) that the homesteading lifestyle was beneficial for lonely and troubled people to experience. And that was how they generated their money.
And, they got great food to eat, of course.
So, thinking outside the box. Plus, I am coming at this life from having been trained up in business. Not the way it is done here (or anywhere, for that matter), but the systems and theories I have developed over the years.
I always love sending ideas along to you guys. Oh, and I am learning to tie knots from you! I tied my compost pile yesterday, and it was so odd. I did "something" that so worked. And I had no idea what I was doing. I literally just "sort of knew" I should do something I do not remember ever doing with the rope, and it worked! It allowed me to cinch the wrap tighter around the base of the pile (putting a tarp on it), and then I could tie that off with a couple of half hitches!
I wished you had been there. I know you would have been so proud. And excited! (And, of course, you might be able to tell me what I had just done, too!)
ThankQ
Billy, be careful pricing your sheep if you sell any. G.J. is getting $500,00 each for his, straight run. Not even pure bred. I remember when you could buy a good sized feeder calf for that.
Maybe, unlike, that person, he just wants to help other people be sustainable for a reasonable price instead of screwing people with outrageous prices.
Wow! Although, I don’t advise it, I would seriously think about using craigslist.
Billy..you are an amazing dude
Maaan.... We are so wanting to get sheep... Just getting the land ready.
Thanks bruzza, great stuff as usual 🙏🙏
Thank you very much, my friend!
Grass is looking good.
Thank you so much, Ronald!
💯Thankyou
They are amazing animals. Meat, pasture management, pasture improvement. We started with Dorper Katahdins, now we've mixed some Australian White in. Gotta keep them in the good stuff though!
I don't have any land that could be turned into grazing land ... I do have about 3 acres of forest land -- probably better to have goats???
Yes this video is a blessing Thank you!!!
Goats love weedy shrubby stuff like multiflora rose or doc. They are escape artists. Need electronet or many multistrand fence that is HOT or a solid fence. Sheep like shrubby stuff, but do not eat up as high as goats reach.
Thank you so much, my friend!
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y Good to know ... have heard they are escape artists. Probably should get movable hot fencing for the area here.
On-Point for useful information many of us are thinking about. Another one, is doing this with a lot less space, some are in apartments, others HOA subdivisions. Some of us are cooperating/investing to support those with a little space. Thank God-He always provides a way.
Even in apartments, it’s possible to raise meat. Check out quail, Guinea pigs (which are raised in their native land as food, not pets), and rabbits.
@@vickisavage8929 Thanks, I have. I'm most concerned about the feed shutting off or being 'accidentally poisoned' given the dependency of quail on feed, rather than that of ruminates. They're very space efficient though. Rabbits are likely best for me. They can eat hay.
@@SLFYSH There are always pigeons, and they feed themselves. They are a traditional food source in many places, and the feral ones in the cities are descended from ones imported from elsewhere as food.
Amen to that, my friend!
Nice slogan on your shirt!
Thank you so much, my friend!
Love it!
Thank you so much, my friend!
I have 9 lambs born in March. I’m definitely putting a few in the freezer this year. In the past I’ve sold the rams but I think the meat will be more useful than the money.
You make a great point there my friend.
Always awesome. Thanks Billy! In New Zealand we had a wee sheep farm and it was unusual to feed animals on grain. Not really heard of it until we lived in Ohio. The meat and dairy tasted odd, it was something we had to get used to and did. Now we live in FNQ (far North Queensland) Australia subtropical on only 3 acres and our issue for growing out meat animals is roaming dingoes. neighbours dogs, birds of prey.
I have a book from Rodale press NEVER KISS A HOAT ON THE LIPS!!!! I MISS MY GOATS.... We moved....
An initial cost of the animal yes.. However fencing, shelters, supplements (many regions require this as the grass does not have the needed selenium and other to support lambs). any medical not to mention the time required to have healthy animals. If you don't have hair sheep they will need to be sheered as well. Raising animals is not CHEAP... The beautiful part is you know how the animal was treated and what you are eating ;)
The one thing that causes the most problems is not having the infrastructure in place BEFORE getting the livestock.
You definitely make some points I should’ve cited in the video.
Do ever worry about the chem trails dumping chemicals on your pastures? Heard where some are having sick or dying animals because of it.
That is definitely a real concern for us.
Hey boss, did you guys ever sprinkle seeds over your pastures? If so, what kind? If not, would you recommend doing so to help jumpstart your pasture? Enjoy your videos and your sons as well. Keep up the good work. Appreciate the information brother. I know you are a man a faith (so am I). “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of Power, Love and of a Sound Mind.”Stay vigilant my brother. For the King is coming! Be blessed.
They used several different kinds of seeds to jumpstart their pasture. They have videos of the process.
@vicki thank you for the information.
You don’t necessarily have to seed your pastures, but we did with a little bit of Kentucky, 31 and a variety of seeds that benefit the helpful insects.
@perma thank you Billy. I appreciate the reply. Be blessed.
❤❤❤
How much grazing land do you need for sheep? I have a wooded acre and lots of weeds but not much grass or field.
Ask your county cooperative extension or Natural Resource Conservation Service what the county average is for supporting an animal unit. An animal unit is 1000 pounds of whatever species. Understocking is wiser than overstocking. Jim Gerrish, Ray Archuleta, Allen Williams, Alejandro Carrillo, Will Harris, Greg Judy, Steve Kenyon, Gabe Brown, Joel Salatin,... are some who discuss grazing to build soil health. Joel Salatin's Salad Bar Beef was the first grazing book I read. It blew my mind-i come from a dairy cattle farm family that only grazed the dry cows and heifers, no rotating pastures. Gabe Brown's Dirt to Soil was my next grazing book and i was absolutely convinced of the mimicing of the mob of yesteryear. Then read 3 books by Greg Judy, which are more of the how to do the tasks from setting up water to fencing to frequent moves. Gabe Brown harps on knowing your context to make the best decision for your soils, plants, animals, family, wallet,... Start small. There is a learning curve to having critters. Move AT LEAST every 3rd day to minimize paracites in your flock or herd.
I hate sheep, bad experience with them when I was younger. But everyone says that about goat's too (hating them) 😅 I'm not a fan of goat's either, but I raise them for milk. I may have to raise a lamb or 2 up for my Uncle in law, but he's paying for butchering ... I can't kill them (not a good issue on a homestead), but I can process. Lol
Great info.
Do you know if strawberries or anything other than grass can be grown around cedar tree's? My nursery bought one's didn't make it over the winter, lost a blueberry, tomatoes did ok last yr despite being put in late, potatoes did ok (same reason) & if it ever stops snowing or raining, I can plant some spuds. Lol
I’ve never tried growing much around a cedar tree. I usually cut them down and try over.
@PermaPasturesFarm21 lol I've cut some down, but right now they're the only "windbreak" for the house. I'm hoping to get tall edible stuff &/or lilacs to be the windblock. It's my experimental zone. Lol
But I had to ask. Lol
Clearly "y'all" live down south. Here it gets very cold. We live 4 months of the year with no grass to gaze. Didn't hear anything about how to do that for free. That 4 months of food has to come from much larger acreage of your own with stuff like hay stored for winter, or stuff purchased. You could technically still do it without buying stuff, but you need much more land and more effort.
Wouldn't it be Super Awesome if we ALL went Vegan !!!!!!!
Ubetcha, I said it. ❤
who r u ,klaus schwab , how about eat bugz ,same sh!t
Billy your bilingual?
Animals are not a system. They are living souls according to your Bible and we were created to eat seed bearing plants according your Bible. Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself...✌🏼❤️
