I love the way Greg just talks away as he walks along checking on his animals and pastures. They talk about whatever catches their eye. It reminds me of whenever I was lucky enough to tag along behind my Grandpa. It feels like I'm right there with them. Touches my heart every time I hear Greg call Jan "Honey". I love my dogs but I agree with Jan... mine are taught "Don't lick" from day one. (I never broke Diego the Border Collie though. :)

Had the best lamb crop ever with 100% pregnancy and 1.56 ratio lambs to ewes and NO deaths. I credit most of all the free choice mineral feeder learned about from Greg

I think the sheep are my favorite ! Great way to fall asleep, counting Greg’s sheep 💤

I love a working dog that wants to tell the boss how good it is.

Love the banter between Greg and Jan. They show what life, family and love should be.

Greg, the rose you commented on around 2:00 appears to be one of our native Missouri roses, likely Rosa setigera or “Prairie Rose.” It forms larger pink flowers and is not nearly as aggressive as the invasive Rosa multiflora, which makes clusters of small white flowers. So, don’t let the sheep beat themselves up over not having taken care of it yet-ha! A nice native that provides good habitat for wildlife.

We finally got 2.5" of rain a couple of days ago in SE Missouri hope for more tonight.

i let my supper get cold watching your sheep, hey!! thats OK i`ll eat a cold supper just so i can watch some sheep,, THANK YOU guys for sharing your sheep and lambs with us

Hope you keep that speckle sparkler sheep!

I rescued a box turtle last week first one I've seen in many years.

The enthusiasm in your voice is infectious!

I like color in my sheep too. That's why I have Damara; they're also self shedding like the St. Croix.

G’day from Australia 🇦🇺 We eat so much Lamb here in Oz, it is my favourite meat! Your sheep look wonderful!

Are you kidding me....14" in two weeks in June! Wow. We had lots this spring but about two weeks ago it pretty much stopped. Sheep look great!

Nothing greater than spending time with livestock in a green paddock full of feed. Thanks Greg

That is some thick silvopasture. I notice what we have more problems with mulberry trees (you have more problems with honeysuckle) here but our animals are nailing it like crazy. They don’t have a chance. Since I let my lawn part of my pasture with lack of rain earlier, the grasss is taking off since we had some good rains and won’t be back until 60 days. We need more rain though.

I sure do love sheep too, and I love the guard turtle haha. That's really what it's all about - making a living on the land and making space for all the other critters and friends that have to make a living on the land too. Thank you so much for showing us how!

That's quite a bit like the best of my forested land--that I'm taking the trees from and adding sheep and goats to. Here at the house I have mint and a bit of soggy bottom. I hope to be able to run the sheep such that they always have enough high ground to avoid issues. I'm with you--quite sure that animals don't naturally eat things that are toxic to them unless they're hungry and all their favorites are depleted. Our blackberries are just now ripening, saw the first ripe one today. Been eating dewberries and wild raspberries for weeks now, but they're done now.

That colored ram is so pretty!!

Absolutely amazing, everyone can picture from far the love, pasion,the heart and soul you are putting in this business . Congrats guys, god bless you!

What sweet music!!!! Never gets old

So fun to listen and walk along with you brother

Greg, always a rejuvenating experience listening to you live my "one day" dreams while i slave away in the office. Have a phenomenal 4th of July holiday weekend! 🇺🇸🐑

Great Video Greg and Jan!! We're excited to get sheep in the upcoming year!!

We finally got a bunch of rain, we had probably close to a foot...6" of which fell in one night. Or blackberries here this year are terrible, small and bitter. On the bright side we had tons of wild strawberries this year, they were big and delicious. Sheep look great, lambs are gorgeous. We ended up with 30 new lambs this year!

Thanks for showing an update on Warren! He's getting big and turning into a fine guard dog.

I would love more details on what's important to keep the dogs healthy (heartworm medication, flea/tick medication, vaccinations, food type....)

You have such a goodlooking flock. I really love the look of that ram.

Greg, you and Jan are so fortunate. God has truly blessed you two. What a great life you have and I trust that you're ready for Jesus return. He's comin!

Great content Greg!👍🏻

Absolutely one of your best videos ever Greg!!!!

Love your videos! Easy going, relaxed, enjoying life🌸

So happy to have found your channel!!!!!!!

I agree he is a beautiful lamb.

What a beautiful piece of land!

Greg, I think that pink climbing rose maybe is a native woods rose. Looks like the woods rose on one of our places.

Awesome sheep and dogs. Luv color!

Sure do enjoy your videos! Learning lots too. I've had wool sheep before but never hair sheep. Planning on getting a few for our small farm. Thanks for your help.

Always nice to see and hear Jan . 70,000 subscribers are almost there 👍

Female, males underside has an indent to be able to breed. Also, red eyes.

Well turn about is fair play your sister story is making my mouth water for lamb. If I had my druthers I would choose lamb over ice cream even if it was homemade ice cream. I could not always say that but it is not a temptation since I beat my sugar addiction.. I appreciate the side effects weight loss and no arthritis pain since cutting out sugar, the nightshade vegetables and gluten . Don't worry I am eating a ton of vegetables and loads of other stuff too. I wish I could make one of Mum's boiled dinners but they are not the same when you are not allowed to eat red meat. Chicken and fish just don't have what it takes to make a good boiled dinner. Yesterday I checked the lettuce and it's almost ready for another graze ! I looked at the stick label. In the other pot the lettuce variety John bought is pretty unusual 🙂🤷🏼‍♀️ swiss chard it is recovering too I knew it didn't taste like lettuce or look like any lettuce that I have eaten ROFLOL! I now have three pots the new one is lettuce. I checked the stick🖖🖖🖖👍👍👍👍🙋🏼‍♀️🍀😘❤️

Jan is so darn cute.

Fun Video😊❤Love The Sheep

Greg's videos make me want to have sheep

You know the quality of a man when he will admit that he likes his dogs to lick him. I'm guilty too! Great relaxing video seems as though it's been awhile. Did you give any of the Kansas mineral to your ewes? I think it has been a bountiful year for you with all of your endeavors. This is the payback for all the labor, work and worry all those years! Well deserved!

We're in Waterford Ireland, within driving distance from The Comeragh Mountains (come-err-ah) and the sheep that graze the mountains are manage-less. They roam the mountain doing what they want. Anyway, what I do notice a lot of is ferns, and then nettles and weeds and some thistles. Whatever sheep they are they do not eat weeds. The grass is so overgrazed it never gets any time to recover. Was walking imagining if those mountains were properly managed re grazing sheep and goats etc. how they would really look today. Pity. Such potential there; productivity potential, and beauty of mountain area potential.

great vibes

We had a dry rainy season so farm supposed to be all June, got like 2 light days and 1 good rain day, then at the end of June first week of July we got 2 solid days and 4 light days of rain ahead. Last year it was 6 weeks of rain and crops rotted and succumbed to various fungi. Climate change is a real roller coaster ride. 👍 Japan Kanto Plains

get my 11 ewes and one ram Aug 1st, working on electric fence now, how high should the wires be spaced on the parameter? your using 12" on the paddock. LOVE the sheep and hope mine will work on the weeds and tromp down everything else. thanks again for all you'll do

“Multi-flora rose bushes”? Have y’all ever heard of the Kiftsgate Rose? (UK). I think it originated from the FE. Climbs up 200ft trees and only blooms once a year.

🎶🎵🎶🎵 it's a beautiful 🎶🎵🎶 day in the neighborhood 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶

Hope the box turtle (who is a female BTW) wasn't relocated too far. Most terrestrial turtles do not survive being removed from the tiny territory they may have spent decades living in.

Turtle is female. Maybe 3 Toed Box turtle species

Quick question: what do you think of registered sheep vs non registered for meat resell purposes? Also would you suggest st croix ewes in addition to a st croix ram? Thanks for your time.

I find it interesting that you talk about not using chemicals on your pastures, about growing everything naturally but you put frontline on your dog. That is the worse of chemicals

How many acres does this herd cover over the course of a year for you?

Greg’s sisters eating him out of house and home! 😂

What do you recommend for fencing off a paddock? Page wire perimeter fence with electric sections? Our farmland butts up to a gravel road with several homes. My worry in grazing our sheep and cattle on our hay acreage is the possibility of escapees. Would love to hear your thoughts?

Hi Greg, thanks for the insight into your way of farming. I feed hay to sheep here in the UK during winter. How do you think the bale unroller would work with sheep? Will it lay the hay down too thick or be too wasteful?What do you think please? Thanks for your thoughts.

Male box turtles have a concave breastplate on their underside, called a plastron.

Do you have a book that tells you the names of these plants and if they are bad or not?

Where do you source your sheep stock from? Also your guardian dogs? Great video, thanks.

send rain to SE Washing ton state i have been over 100 for a number of days now and to continue through July 6th.

Yes the turtle is a female western three toed turtle .

Got lots of Deschampsia cespitosa in our pastures here in Norway. Ideas to get rid of them?

awesome sheep eating fantastic grass & plants # did U remove hair of sheep for hot temperature reason or other reason ????? i fully agree with U Greg Judy that sheep meat is lot more tasty #

Do you have to trim their hooves? We haven’t had to(we have goats) I was just wondering

Greg, I have a large stand of common milkweed in my pasture...the sheep LOVE it, but all articles state it will kill them if I let them have too much of it. How do your sheep do with common milkweed? Should I cut down that stand and roll out hay on it or should I let them go at it? For now they haven't reached that spot but are cleaning up the stray milkweed in other paddocks and I see no ill effects from the occasional milkweed.

If u keep ewe lambs for breeding will u breed them back to their 'dad'? I always switch out my ram when i keep ewes for replacements cause im afraid it will ruin genetics if i interbreed but i have heard some ppl do that.

My sheep are only noisy when hungry or stressed. Yours are very chatty even when in lots of forage. Any thoughts or commentary on that ?

Thank you for the videos. What breed of sheep is that?

what breed of sheep is that ?

Hi Greg, You talked about the O’briens step-in, is the yellow step-in that Timelessfence sells the same? Thanks in advance!

@Greg that spot where your dog started drinking, would it be a good spot to expand into a creek? Or do you leave it as it is?

Usually the females have a concave back to receive the male as far as I know.

Sex turtles by the underside of their shells. Males have a bit of concavity where females are flatter (I'll let you figure out why). I'd say that one is a female. I've never seen one that color though. Ours are much darker in TN.

can you have guinea hens with sheep same place?

I caught that you put the rams back in the flock Dec. 1. I didn't catch when you pull them out of the flock?

Can you roll out hay for sheep just like you do with cattle to improve pasture

Will sheep get on a frozen pond perhaps with enough numbers that pond caves and they drown? Thank you. Great video

Hey Greg...I thought after a year old it was considered mutan meat and not as good as lamb. Have you found that 18 months is the cut off age for processing good meat?

Hello Greg and Jan, I raise painted desert sheep. What is your opinion on breeding offspring to their mother and siblings? I haven’t done it but been told the the big operations like yours does it? Also what age do you band the Ram lambs? Enjoy your videos!

Color in your sheep will go against your brown vs black cow theory......temperature!!!!

Are llamas 🦙 or donkeys any good as a sheep 🐑 herd guardians? I wondered if they are effective, because dogs are expensive to feed.

Multifurose bushes? How do you spell that word? Curious.

What type of dogs are those?

Do you cut the tail off the lamps ?

Greg, any thoughts on guard llama's instead of dogs?

❤❤❤❤

Did anyone ever answer the how-to sex a box turtle? The males have a scoop on their belly so they can mount the females.

Would goats clean more weeds then sheep? Or do they forage different?

Would 3 ewes and 2 rams and be a good start ? Or do the 2 rams need a wether?

Greg, do you have issues with ticks on your sheep?

I name them..... Meat 1, Meat 2, Meat 3.....

I'm very interested in getting some of your sheep I'm in Danville va where are you

Would you recommend sheep as one of the first animals when clearing overgrown land and building a small 20 acre homestead? If so, how many and what kind do you recommend?

Do you have any problems with fly strike, with tailed sheep?

What do you do to prevent parasites?

Hey Greg, whats your opinion on llamas as guard animals? I know they’re best solo, but they can be mean buggers. Growing up on my father’s farm, nothing ever challenged the llamas - one managed to scare a horse to flee the barnyard (the quickest path out was to jump over the gate… and me).

what kind of fence does it take to contain SHEEP? GOATS?
