I started a slow rotation yesterday. Prior to this, the ewes had access to a large part of the pasture but now they'll be restricted to a smaller area and will be rotated every few days at first. We're expecting the first lambs next week.
We're getting our first batch of broiler chicks next week also. They'll be ready to butcher on Memorial Day which will be a nice kick-off to the barbecue season. The hoophouses need some work to be ready for this grazing season. I'd like to get the laying hens on pasture before the end of this month. They had been in the garden but we moved them so we could begin ground prep.
Asparagus and strawberries went in this week. It's going to be nice to actually live in one place long enough to establish an asparagus bed.
