I was rolling around touring the sites and couldn’t help but notice how well the sheep did here. We are excited with the results from the 2024 growing season on this site.
This is year one of sheep on the facility with only 2 mechanical cuttings needed to maintain weeds. Going forward, we are looking at long term management battles with broomstraw and foxtail. Hoping to begin a reseeding plan for areas of Bermuda grass. With some planning, we can “cut” mechanical mowing down to one cutting!
Managing the foxtail will be the most intensive portion. Lots of spot mowing at the right times throughout the year until the seed bank is depleted. Broomsedge/Straw will be managed with lime/phosphorus applications and some intensive grazing with broadcast seeding.
