Bedding pack. Scooped a bit from the lamb pen to the compost pile, this is what happens. It’s why I am in favor of a bedding pack in winter, that is always giving off a little heat. Will clean the concrete floor before lambs start to drop, and the ladies will go here for shearing, when they are naked, and late gestation. Then the pack will be scraped for lambing on clean bedding. TO GROW NEXT YEAR’S BLANKETS.

What goes into making really good Wool? Other than excellent breeding and all the other things… Feeding really good soil! After the Barns are cleaned out in the spring time, the Pile heats up and settles. Then it is turned and aerated till all the carbon is captured and the nitrogen is stable. In another month, this pile will be spread on areas that appear to need more soil fertility, and washed in over winter… To begin the next season of awesome Grass! And awesome WOOL.
