Thanks for the reply. I am all about low input, even if it means reduced output. Feed is GMO's and I want as little of that in my families diet as possible. Organic is prohibitively expensive, makes grass look real good. Do you raise vegetables for your sheep? Pumpkins, winter squash?

No, our vegetable garden is for human consumption.
Gmo free debt corn, oats, peas and wheat are for animal use.
Any scraps from harvesting go in the BSF bins.
Absolutely nothing goes to waste here. The cattle and sheep get forage and non gmo grains when lactating. The rabbits are herbivores so they are easy since we have plenty of forage. And the poultry are omnivores, so when they don't have bugs to find in the winter we feed them the BSF we froze overt the summer (along with their fermented grains of course).

It sounds like you're doing a great job of feeding your animals and your family.
