Video: Feeding Sheep - Pastures Are Done! Winter Feeding Routine In Summer/July 22, 2022

At Ewetopia Farms, the hot weather and large number of sheep has lead to our pastures being totally played out. There is not enough regrowth yet to enable the sheep to continue grazing so they have been taken off pasture for at least another month. This should prevent parasite infestation in the sheep and destruction of pastures due to over grazing. Therefore, we are basically following our winter feeding routine in the summer. We also have to constantly monitor for new cases of pneumonia in the lambs due to the hot, humid conditions.
