Keeping Sheep Healthy

We don't care for synthetic or commercial de-wormers on our farm. That can be interesting when raising one of the most parasite prone livestock species, sheep.

In this article, we'll explain a bit more so hopefully it will all make sense.

I asked him if we could sit down and record a conversation on some of the topics that had been burning on our minds.

Fresh vs. Frozen Meat: Which is Better?

In this article, I will try to briefly explain some key points to consider.
