I'm starting up with sheep and goats after thinking about for years. Herd is currently four Katahdin ewes (to lambs, one open, and one due to give birth in March / April) and one American Alpine due to give birth in March. The herd will be built up to 12 breeding ewes and 4 breeding does on roughly 8 acres of ground. The first year we will be getting pastures setup for strip grazing and I want to get through at winters on part by stockpiling forage. Currently the forage on average is poor and heterogenous although the amount is so they can do a lot of cherry picking on the virgin ground. My intent is to improve the quality of pasture through grazing regimen and seeding. My interest is really into their behavior like it has been with chickens on this site. Learning is name of the game.
I promptly got repelled by goat folks elsewhere but have found moderation here knows how to tame my passions in a good way.
