Mike's been working hard to improve soil health thru adaptive grazing and cover crop planting since the pig w**d purge of 2023. I of course went down the you tube rabbit hole to help. Check out our soil and our cover crop of Daikon Radishs. Why radishes?? Radishes improve soil quality by adding organic matter(rotting radishes), breaks up compacted soil(bulb width and depth), suppresses w**ds(forage side of radish smothers out the w**ds), and radishes pull nitrogen into the soil. Better soil=better pasture= happier healthier stock. Mike Reynolds Karon Townsend Reynolds

Had some inquiries from those with lease ewes about holding on to them for shows past state fair, longer they are on your feed bill the shorter they are on mine so just let me know if you plan to hold on to them.
With us running the market lamb show in the past normally we would have a trailer there and a set of pens for drop offs. Since we are not running the show and both on our trailers are on loan, that is not a option this year. There are some families that live close that will be coming our way so just get with us and we will try to workout a plan.
Have had some ask when we will have pictures posted of ewes that are for sale. Sorry we are not going to have or send pictures of them individually. Once we have time for Karon and I to sort through them, We will let you know. Hopefully in the next few weeks but we will try hard to have it by the end of the month. We welcome you to come look by appointment and we can discuss them at that time.

Rams we used and the ewes we are going to sell!! No one reads past the first line but we are horrible about making post and keeping page updated so it will it be a long post but worth reading.
Rams,
There was a rhyme to our reason and a method to our madness on our ram selection. It is not always about extreme muscle and the coveted s**g. Those are good qualities but often breeders go for the single traited lambs and forget the important things. I will give up a little power and s**g for a lamb that has correct neck set, square hip that does not pin in, tight hide, and that walks. I think the blackface matings check off those boxes while still producing the popular white and natural features for personal choices.
Dorsets are a hard one. Only have a handful of papered dorsets and trying to maintain some papers but there are only a few papered dorsets rams that have the correct clubby build. I guess in January we will see how this train wreck unfolds.

Ewes,
We cull hard and have built a set of females that are not hard doers with feet problems that will lay down a spit out a sellable lamb year after year. Our goal for several years is to cut our numbers way back and concentrate more on a flush program. We turned out cleanup rams yesterday and will ultrasound in October. When we get our keepers home after state fair we will do a sale list. These will not be culls and the only 2 half baggers I know we own will not be on the list. These ewes were good enough for us to bred and I am not scared to lamb them out but we just have way to many ewes. They will range from our keeper ewes to 6 yr olds. Most will be old show ewes. Some will be really good producers but maybe one of this and that genetically that we are trying to just narrow down gene pool. They are forsale but not onsale. Prices will vary depending on who and what they are. There are 30 to 40 we will put a price on but goal is to cut 15 to 20, so it will be buyers choice and plenty of buyable ewes. In this lot there will be open ewe lambs, exposed matures, and some from our ai group. They will be sold as is where is but none will be sold with any known health issues.
Lambs that are born in this group will be ABL eligible. If you want to start breeding Arkansas Junior Sheep Council - AJSC lambs this will be a great opportunity to start.

Saw this post and it brings up a good topic as we start going into fair season. Either buy the picture or do not post it. Water marked pictures are just tacky. I understand the show pictures are expensive trust me we have purchased plenty of them. If you think they are expensive look at camera, MacBook, and editing software prices not to mention time of travel, taking photos, and editing them.

Thought of the day is "trying to do the right thing but doing it the wrong way".

I am going to build a blog and I was going to not post anymore thoughts until I did but.... Then I saw a new tiktok of a girl having her lamb drag a tire to build muscle. Her doing it didn`t bother me as much as the commentors wanting to try it. If you are dragging objects, jumping hurdles, feeding on a incline, or using a chariot STOP!!!! JUST STOP!!! stop doing it and if you did it back in the day stop promoting it. Chances are you are doing more harm than good. Tiktok has lots of good info but just as much bad stuff as well.

I understand we all want more muscling and firmer to the touch. Sprint down the drive or track and/or treadmill. Looking at potential problems down the road you are probably better off just letting them set in the pen and get fat rather than dragging a tire or some other form of whatever someone dreamed up.

Thought of the day is extra wool left on market lambs. Every Monday morning my forum feeds are full of lambs from the weekend leaving me cringed. I am not a smart man and not the best fitter but extra wool just looks like a unfinished fitting job.

Blocked legs is a term. Legs should be blended from the joint down not blocked square off 3 inches above the joint. Youtube is full of videos on how they should look and how to achieve that look.

Belly wool is something just leaves me shaking my head. Either learn to get the flank right or blend and wash that mess. It should not look like a piece of s**g carpet left over from the 80s under your lamb. You think it is hiding your high flank and appearing to have a better chest floor but in reality, for me it is drawing attention to a flaw.

Thought of the day. How or why can Karis stare down any judge at any show?
Does she spend hours a day staring at the mirror working on that soul burning stare?
The answer is a simple but hard NO! She spends hours a day..... every day in the barn. She has the ability to do whatever she wants to in the ring because she knows exactly what her animal is doing without looking. She does not look where her hog is going because she knows exactly where it is without looking. She does not fumble to set lamb legs because she knows they are set.
Yes her hair is fixed and her clothes are clean in the ring but watch her in the at home reels. It is after dark, she is dirty, hot, sweaty, and tired but she stays determined and focused on the win. I started watching her reels because of the stare but then I focused more of how she and her animals work as one. I stopped watching her face and started watching body movements that flowed with her animal.

The honest truth is that it is hard to beat someone who out works you.
