We’re getting another 6-8 inches of snow here in early April, but the additional moisture is welcomed. We’ve also been buying some hay for next winter at bargain prices.

Here is my promised windbreak video, hope you find it interesting! Overview: 8’x16’ 10’ tall @60 degree angles. Shooting for about 75-80 coverage. 4”x4” for skids, white oak is great but pressure treated works as well.

Last winter, we bale grazed our sheep and goats, and to be honest, it worked quite well. I’d make some modifications if we do it again, but in the meantime, I picked up a 3 point bale unroller and we’re trying that method so far this season. Jonathan talks about some observations between the two practices.
