Hi all, and Nelson Jacomel Junior Nelson where are you, I cant ID "br"
Fig's grows on a tree, a palm tree I think is not the bark very hardy and difficult to eat ?? I don't think that they can get to the fig's ?? (I have never seen a live fig tree so ?? ) I looks to me that a constant replanting of "oat's and turnip" is cumbersome and expensive but for the sheep's they must love it, my experience with sheep ( we have 2 large meat type and 10 + milk -goats)is they will eat what the goats will eat or closed to it. (and they love Grapes) Perhaps your friend is doing strip's of different cover crop's, one with permanent clover, the next with permanent grasses and one with oats that will turn in to turnip's for winter feed ?? I would be very interested to find out what type of sheep your friend have? I'm believe that a miniature or smaller breed would be better for orchard grassing ??
