Previous week: 2025 5/12-5/18 Week in Review
Monday 5/19
The new rams decided to escape the pen and move in with the sheep.
One of the cows (#19) had bloody discharge yesterday. Today, however, it looks like it might have been an abscess that burst on her tail base. I could not find any discharge in the pasture.
Tuesday 5/20
The new row is 100′ wide.
Wednesday 5/21
I feel like I have similar grass to Greg Judy. We had major droughts in 2021, 2022, 2023, and a minor drought in 2024. It finally feels like I am able to make this work.
Thursday 5/22
There’s a bunch of goatweed in different places here. The sheep are skipping the seed heads and focusing on something growing near the ground — clovers?
Friday 5/23
The sheep are still breaking out from time to time.
I decided not to move the sheep into the pen tomorrow. I’ll do it next week.
Saturday 5/24
I heard in a Greg Judy video that he keeps the wire 1′ off the ground. I lowered the wire to the third hook. Let’s see if it works.
If I don’t get calves soon I might have to sell all the cows. I’d need to find a replacement herd first, though.
Sunday 5/25
The lower wire seems to be working.
