We try and lamb in May every year. It’s a good temperature, there’s usually good grass, and lambs are nice and large when it’s time to separate the flock for summer pasture management. Sadly, we are usually harvesting olives in May so the really cute stage of very young lambs is long past. The best I can offer right now is pictures of lamb toddlers. The cute brown and white one above is a ram lamb we hope will be a future breeding ram for the flock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ewes and youngest lambs are in the Picual portion of the olive orchards. We are working on managing sheep in the orchards to help keep pasture and weeds managed. They do some damage to the trees by eating the lowest levels of leaves and tender branch growth. At some times of the year they do eat the bark, which is more damaging to the trees. When that happens we rotate the sheep out of the orchards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We find the damage to be easier to manage than the weed pressure that develops if we don’t graze the sheep in the plantation. One upside to sheep in the olives is that all of the trees have a very clear understory! The sheep can only graze as high as they can reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Corderos!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cada a\u00f1o probamos a tener las ovejas, parir en mayo. Mayo tiene un clima lindo, normalmente estamos con pasto, y los corderos esteran lindos y grandes cuando necesitamos separar las ovejas por el verano. Lamentablemente, estamos cosechando aceitunas en mayo y no tengo fotos de los corderos cuando est\u00e1n m\u00e1s cari\u00f1os. Lo mejor que puedo ofrecerte son fotos de corderos de medio tama\u00f1o. El cordero blanco y marr\u00f3n es uno muy lindo que esperemos estar\u00e9 el carnero en el futuro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ovejas con los corderos m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes est\u00e1n en la plantaci\u00f3n entre los Picuales. Tratamos de manejar las ovejas en la plantaci\u00f3n para controlar el crecimiento de las malezas y el pasto. Hacen un poco de da\u00f1o a los \u00e1rboles. Las ovejas comen las hojas y las ramitas m\u00e1s tiernas. Algunos puntos del a\u00f1o comen la c\u00e1scara del \u00e1rbol y hacen mucho m\u00e1s da\u00f1o a los \u00e1rboles. Cuando pasa eso sacamos las ovejas de la plantaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Preferimos controlar el da\u00f1o a los \u00e1rboles a un nivel m\u00ednimo que tener un crecimiento de malezas y pasto m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que podemos manejar. \u00a1Un beneficio de tener las ovejas en los olivos y todos los \u00e1rboles tiene un sotobosque muy limpio! Las ovejas solamente puede comer a tan alto pueden alcanzar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
