This is the fastest way to secure the mobile sheep shelter to the tractor when moving it to the next paddock. Pull the loop of the rope though draw bar on the tractor then drop a chain through the loop behind it. I can hook it up and unhook with one hand! #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #rotationalgrazing #pasturemanagement #localfood #sheep #lamb

Last paddock in this pasture for katahdin hair sheep

The sheep will likely be here a couple days then move on to thier lambing pasture. We decided it's best to get them there sooner and have to wait a few days than to be caught off guard with lambs needing attention in the back pastures.

I broke some autumn olive braches for easy browsing for the sheep. They love it. As a nitrogen fixing shrub the stress should help the grass grow around it too.

The Katahdin hair sheep ate just about every leaf off this autumn olive. I broke the branches down so the sheep could easily reach the leaves. With the stress from the browsing of the sheep, the autumn olive will now release it's nitrogen stores helping the nearby pasture to grow. It is my belief that the diverse diet we offer our sheep is what makes the meat taste so good.
