My whole life I ate lamb with that special lamb odor, and I hated eating lamb. Then, I had a chance to eat lamb the Sinjiang area of China (near Kazakhstan), and was shocked to discover there is no lamb odor at all, just fragrance of the lamb meat and fat. Do you know what makes the difference on the odor in lamb? Is it the breed? Is it the feed? Or something else?

Why put on sheep 's clothing??
-
what a joke for pasture managament
-
What resource are you making use of by having grass exist on your land?
-
curious. how many sheep per acre is good if you let them graze in pasture?
-
Overgrazing is a function of time. I think she's misleading people on her idea of pasture management. Undergrazing is just as damaging as overgrazing. Look at individuals like Allan Savory, Jim Gerrish and Joe Salatin for advice.

I'm on my eighth year of my program and I wouldn't do it any other way. I
am like you with very minimal acreage. I have bought my farm I did not
inherit my place. Mob Grazing is 250,000 LBS of livestock per acre per
day. That is how I set up my paddocks. I move my animals twice every day.
Use Google earth to figure out your rotations. Rest of the land is what
you want. If you are truly interested in Mob Grazing you need to read Greg
Judy's books they will get you started. This will get you started on
manure, water, and mortality management. I no longer have to address these
three problems that you have. And for god sake stop selling you manure
that is your fertility of your property. I do not even worm my animals any
more because they are one fresh grass all the time.
I think your marketing is correct you cannot compete against the
bigger producers. But you also cannot farm like them ether. you just need
to read Greg Judy's books he raises cattle but the same program can be
applied to sheep goats even chickens. IT WORKS (check out his you tube
videos that will get you started but you must read his books over and over.) -
What a joke!
1) Pasture Mgt? HA! That wasn't pasture mgt...that was playground mgt. This retard intentionally seeds with low palatable seed? LOL!
2) "Animal units"? My neighbor went by the ext. office and permitted every single animal on his farm. He was fined numerous times, and eventually went under because he couldn't compete in the market.
3) "carrying capacity"? HA! I was 'advised' when I moved here that my 20 acres could carry only 19 sheep/goats. I had a good laugh and 3 years later I am carrying over 300 just fine on 13 of the 20 acres.
4) "weeds and bare spots" are dead space? "like looking at an emaciated animal"? HAHAHA! I don't buy any supplemental feed for my stock, and my animals have gained gross mass of 3% last year alone. *WEEDS are not "dead"...BARE SPOTS are happening because too many follow this type of farming.
I'm sure if I continue to watch this video any more I will have plenty to reply about, but obviously this is just another "your gov't knows best" type video. I have never permitted any of my animals. I don't report them, or births/deaths. I don't file for water permits. My neighbor did, and went under in short order. He use to complain about the intrusions and fees all the time. -
why the hell is there a manure pile ROTATIONAL GRAZE no manure. Just keep on wasting that diesel/profit money you could be making. Low palatable doesn't exist in my field with my animals unless your just to lazing to move your animals to the next paddock. It takes 15 mins; don't listen to the idiots about feed and crap the animal grazes that is what they have been bred to do for 1000's of years. if you don't have enough pasture to maintain your animals off your land alone you need to rethink what your doing SEE MOB GRAZING FOR REAL INFO
