    We run a 250acre block of plantain/prairie grass mix that we graze our cows on prior to them going onto the winter oats. Probably different for your case with sheep but have found the protein and energy in the plantain helps the girls maintain and even gain weight through the winter whilst prepping for the spring calving.

      Interesting. Thanks for that. I do like it as a plant and it has it place.

    I’m interested in your theories about exposing ewe lambs to worm load for the first year. I have a similar mentality when worming however barberpole worm (haemonchus ) can make it quite difficult to risk doing so.

      It is interesting. We haven't had Barbers pole but it is in Canterbury now . Just need to be more vigilant and make faecal egg counting more of a priority.

    You are getting about 4k of new subscribers per year. So in 3 years you should be at approximately 25k subscribers. Hopefully you will grow faster than that.

    Do you ever worry about coccidia when feeding hay, grain or kale in a muddy paddocks/ on the ground? Do you ever do preventative treatments?

      Only have had issues in lambs, not much of an issue in older ewes.
