Raising AMERICAN Lamb And Wool In The West (Part 2)

The next step in our journey of raising American Lamb and wool in the west brings us to summer on the ranch! We are busy bringing our sheep home from the spring ranges, and on to the summer permits on the mountain. It takes a lot of trucking, trailing, and moving to get everything back to where they need to be! Summer is a busy time on the ranch, not only are we moving sheep, but we are right in the middle of growing feed for the winter and spring! It is a good thing that we have a lot of good help around here to get everything done! Come join us as we see how the herders live, and how they are able to get their amazing, unique, and difficult job accomplished, with the help of border collies, livestock protection dogs, and so much more!

A lot of people out there have no idea what it takes to produce food. Great video ,Thanks 😊

Great job. Love lamb, and I'm glad there's someone still running huge herds. Here in Montana, all the grazing permits went away. A lot of producers went out of business. Sad deal.

[@themorganmickelchannel]

The industry is definitely changing! It’s hard to see the changes!

What percentage of your ewes need help lambing?

[@themorganmickelchannel]

That’s a great question! Really not to many! We go through them every year before they lamb and if they have a big bag or big tits that will be hard for the lambs to get going we make sure to give them extra attention and they are marked accordingly. But other than that most the ewes don’t need to much assistance!

@@themorganmickelchannel thank you! Great information!

[@fentazifarms9286]

Is there a reason you guys choose to run wool sheep over hair sheep?

[@steventhomas8964]

What month is lambing for you?

[@michaeletsitty2459]

Do y'all sale your sheep ?????

[@heathermercer-vp6jy]

How many sheep does one of your shepherds watch?

[@themorganmickelchannel]

It depends on the time of year and permit! Anywhere from 700 to 2500

[@heathermercer-vp6jy]
