For the first time in 2016, we opened the gate at Lulu’s Crossing and led all of the sheep and equines in to graze. It’s been cold and pretty dry this Spring,  so the grass isn’t up as high as we’d like it to be, but it’s time to stop feeding hay and start rotational grazing.

Red got the sheep together and the rest of us walked in. We’ll leave them out there for several hours, then back into the central pasture, which we will use as a paddock. Horses can’t be left to graze all day, they can get sick, so we’ll use the area behind the Pole Barn as a paddock. Come and see.
