All Sheep and Lamb Discussion / Re: Almond Mulch for Pens?

« on: January 24, 2016, 10:09:45 am »

I have a friend who had a truck load of almond hulls put down onto the dirt driveway back to the corrals and let me tell you a big difference on the mud situation. He had it laid down really thick and  driving on  it has compacted it down. He also put some around  where the sheep walk to their water and it has kept the mud down. I was thinking on taking some 2x4's and making a frame  and then  fill them up with the almond hulls, kinda like a sidewalk.

We've had 4 ewes lamb so far, 3 sets of twins and 1 single..6 bucks and 1 ewe. All have been born healthy, but then the one buck got his leg broke but he's still acts like a lamb, tries to jump around  and play. So we're happy. We have 3 more ewes to lamb., I think one is going to today.
