In the spring of 2020, I came back from a two year mission trip in Africa.

I had a hankerin’ to be the owner of livestock.

I kept thinking, “Sheep would sure be fun to have.”

So the next year, I bought several ewes.

A couple of them had some lambs that year.

I really didn’t know all that much about sheep husbandry, so I figured a barn, lot’s of grain, dewormers and meds would be a big part of my future.

My mind was blown when I did some research and realized that it was possible to eliminate all that stuff and let the sheep just be sheep.

It’s been a little over 2 years since I’ve started and I haven’t had to build a barn, feed any grain, administer dewormers or meds.

But.

It’s not like I just put the sheep in a pasture, and they take care of themselves.

The secret is in the day to day management.
