Going to give the new handling system a try tomorrow. 50 foot alley with stoppers and slide gates, and a 14x30 foot bud box.

Key points-it is important to keep soil covered in order to retain or absorb moisture.
-covered soil maintains a moderate temperature which is important for soil life and plant health.
Air temp. 31C, 87.8F
Soil temp 20C, 68F

Penny is a well bonded guard dog. She will carry her food across the field and eat it with her sheep rather than eat with the other dogs.

This was my sons 4-h project 8 years ago out of one of his own ewes. She was last in her class. I tease him about it every year as she raises a solid set of twins on nothing but grass.

The kids wanted 4-h lambs. So we put a ram out for a day at weaning. Today I sorted 22 to lamb next week. I hope they learn how much work confinement lambing is.

Not a great family photo. But just to document that we get dressed up and leave the ranch every once and a while.

This is how I train cattle to electric fence. 2 poly wires, lots of highly visible posts in a location they will all get an educational shock. 430 fresh steers all on the right side of the fence after 12 hours.

An hour interesting day at Grey Dufferin Community Pasture. Processed some quality steers, enjoyed some hot sunny weather, took cover from the heavy rain, hail and wind. And now I listen to the humming of the backup generator to power the electric fencer.
