Time to hit the slopes!

Although nature provides fantastic insulation, as you can see from the unmelted snow on their backs, and despite the fact that we stockpile forage for winter grazing, it’s good to feed hay on a south facing hillside with plenty of wind breaks when the windchill is -15.

Livestock protection is a key principle when it comes to success in raising small ruminates. Livestock guardian dogs are a major component of that. The dogs eat, sleep, live, and even give birth in the pasture with the herds. I found these in a brush pile this week.

We have 3- 8 month old male livestock guardians available. They are 1/2 Karakachan 1/4 Anatolian Shepherd and 1/4 Komondor. Raised with goats, sheep, and cattle. We have a rotational grazing system and we move a self feeder of dog food along with the herds, so they stay with the animals all of the time. PM or call for details.
