In the woods, food comes in layers for the sheep.

Been slowly turning this once closed canopy woods into silvopasture after having some logging done a few years ago.

Now there are tons of sapling trees in there so I break the tops about 3-4ft up so the sheep can eat the leaves.

Been using this technique with great success elsewhere around the homestead to get grass to grow deeper into the woods and thin out some unwanted trees.

Katahdin Hair Sheep Resting in the Shade

Heat can cause serious stress on the sheep and force them to waste energy trying to stay cool. If we can provide paddocks with cool microclimates we will be able to maximize the growth of our flock through the summer. This shade shelter is the next best thing.

The sheep are getting mentally prepared for the next jungle of a paddock. They will find lots of sapling ash, tulips poplar, cottonwood and willow for forage as well as other unusual delights like day lilly.
