I want to do another soil test but the lime I put out last month is already showing some results. The small paddock in the picture was pretty bare up until a couple of years ago when I started adjusting the ph. I moved the main herd on to it this morning and also opened the gate where the bottle lambs stay. Maisy was in with them for awhile and when she headed out to be with the sheep, the lambs followed her on out. The lambs have spent some time with the herd in a small pen but they seem comfortable today being with the rest.
The senior ewes whose lambs we pulled last month seem to be drying up finally so we should be able to move their lambs back with the main bunch soon.
I cut the paddock in the upper right yesterday since the rye grass was getting woody enough the sheep wouldn't eat it. I'm going to over seed some of the crab grass on it after the grass dries out a bit and then run the harrow over it. There is a good stand of Fescue on part of it and I'll leave that along.
