it's time to get these sheep into the winter chicken yard to get it cleared out
hey little buddy before you do the pig chores the pig feed we have a special mission we need to get
these lambs over into the winter chicken yard there so they can start clearing the brush out
of there for us step one is we need to move the cage back so we can open up the gate right there
good work little buddy step two is get the pig boards
got the pig worked good set him by the chicken tractor right there we'll do
the next step step three three we're going to move the chicken tractor right this way
to block off this area so the sheep can go out that way and they won't get tempted to go this way
step four is getting formation here with the pig boards i need you to block off that area right
there so the sheep can focus their way that way and i'm gonna set up one more panel here to cut
off any avenues of egress our weak spot's right over here it's not quite enough to cover that
so i might stand over there little buddy if you handle this over here do you think you can handle
it i think so all right this is the risky part little buddy and i admit i'm a little nervous
if this goes wrong this could be a bad evening are you ready i think so are you guys ready here we go
do
how'd you think that went little buddy i think it went pretty good
yeah pretty smooth better than i had expected
the idea here is that the sheep will clear out the brush in here uh of course they'll
get forage in there as well and whatever they don't eat they'll hopefully kind of trample down
kind of clear out this area there so i can get to the greenhouse ideally i'd like to overwinter
the chickens in the greenhouse so i can get eggs priscilla is waiting on her dinner there
if you've noticed the front door in the greenhouse is kind of busted up there so it is not suitable
for holding chickens right now so once this gets cleared out i can get back there to fix up the
greenhouse so it can hold chickens for the winter come on priscilla come on kitty kitty good girl
come on kitty
don't be scared of those chickens chickens are going up there the roost come on priscilla it's
okay go eat no there she goes she has been nervous around the chickens last several
days because we had a broody hen and priscilla just happened to be walking by the broody hen
minding her own business and the hand attacked her so she's been just kind of spooked since
have you checked the sheep yet today no why don't you set the bucket down and come over and check
the sheep with me i checked him this morning and they were out here munching away on the forage
and it looks like they hadn't put a dent in all the growth out here hey dude just chilling
oh you guys have thinned it out some in here most of the remaining stuff is the brown dead stuff
that they're not gonna eat but hopefully we'll trample i was thinking maybe we should um leave
them in there for another day yeah they're gonna leave them in here for probably a few more days
just to let them work this a little bit more no rush to get them out but we do need to get
them hay the nutrition level of what's in there is probably not super high so we'll supplement
with some hay we are down to three bales of hay well less than three because i've already
used some of that one there but that's okay because harvest is coming soon this should last
us me go in here and show you my pig feed situation
and as you can see there's a door on here now and some house wrap i did an update on this in my last
video on youtube a youtube short so go check that out what's the matter baby girl what's the matter
do we need some love baby girl oh too much love we don't need to do that willow paw
good girl i had an entire palette of pig feet here in white bags it is all gone so i ordered
200 pounds of organic peas and barley from azure standard as like an emergency supply
are you stocking some mice that are trying to get my grain good girl priscilla i don't have
a cool room in there which means i am dependent on the weather conditions being right for harvest
i'm doing a new system for harvest with the pigs this year have all the equipment in so
in my next video we're going to talk about that but with my feed situation getting so low
i'm definitely ready to get the harvest on here looking at the forecast it looks like i have about
a week a week and a half before we're going to get the right weather conditions which is going
to be above freezing and a high temperature of no higher than the mid 40s and preferably no raining
little buddy is learning cello in the school orchestra by the way

it's just you're just learning you're off to a good start i guess so
