Thats inspiring. I will look into those books.. I see you're in Idaho; I would imagine there's quite a difference in temperature from the north to the southern part of the state? Is that so? Around here when deep winter hits there is ZERO grass, so I would be very curious to learn how to graze year round and keep the bred ewes nourished enough. I'm sure our ancestors of old did it, just need to learn more about it! BTW have you seen the website http://hayexchange.com/ ?
