Hello Friends,
The lambs are growing strong and we have more grass than they can eat! It has been an amazing spring so far!
I have 2 MAJOR announcements at the bottom of this email. #1. Details and a date for 2024 Lamb Reservations and #2. Information on the 2024 Dorper Dream Flock Grant! Scroll and enjoy!
The Crimson Clover came in strong this year and provided protein rich feed for my ewes (alongside ryegrass, vetch, Persian clover, and more). This Crimson Clover grows naturally in East Texas, however 2 years ago I broadcast a 50 lb bag of seed on this pasture. Here is a video that shares the process!
Aside from hand-broadcasting, I do not perform any major pasture plantings. There are 3 reasons for this: #1: Seed and the planting process is expensive, #2: sheep thrive on lower quality pasture (planting fancy grasses is not a priority), and #3 The quality of my pasture has naturally improved with good grazing management.
I have a few Pigtail Posts leftover! Free shipping on $75+ so grab a set if you haven’t already!
2024 Livestock Sale: May 30th at 8AM (online only at Shepherdess.com)
On May 30th at 8am CST I will be posting both Dorper ewes and rams for sale at Shepherdess.com. My rams and ewes are from a single genetic line this year (with exception of the Dream Flock Grant), so they cannot be bred together; however the quality is rock solid and these sheep will shine in a well-managed pasture based system.
2024 Dorper Dream Flock Giveaway (details below):
Two days before my livestock sale (May 28th), I will be announcing the winner of the 2024 Dorper Dream Flock giveaway.
That’s right, I am giving one of you the chance to start your Dorper dream flock, with 3 sheep from my flock! I will be selecting one farm/homestead to receive 2 Purebred Dorper breeding ewes, 1 Purebred Ram, a COMPLETE Shepherdess Supplies Kit, and a 1-1 consultation call (between the winner and I)! DETAILS to enter HERE!
Thanks so much for reading!
