Raising Sheep for Beginners: What You Should Know

Managing livestock can be quite the task, especially if you aren’t sure where to start or what you need to consider. If you are new to raising sheep, don’t worry. We are going to give you three essential things you can do to ensure you have a successful business and flock.

Feeding your flock a balanced diet

Like any other animal, your herd is going to need to be fed regularly. Sheep particularly have a larger stomach chamber, requiring a healthy and bountiful diet. Sheep that maintain a diet of dry hay and grain will need more water incorporated into their diet than those that don’t.

Generally you’ll want to feed your sheep grains and forbs. Forbs are similar to weeds that are covered in clover and alfalfa. If you’re on a budget, grass and shrubs are also a great option.

Shelter your sheep

Your adult sheep generally can cope with different types of weather, but having a place for them to take shelter, dry out and escape harsh winds or sun can give you healthy sheep for the future. Make sure your shelter has a soft bedding to absorb water or urine.

Take proper care of your sheep

Your sheep constantly need to be cared for. Make sure your herd is vaccinated regularly. Periodically trim the hooves of your sheep to prevent lameness.

When looking for the right equipment to run and manage your sheep, consider D-S Livestock Equipment. From feeders to handling systems, we have you covered. Give a call today at [phone]!

Your Guide to Livestock Equipment: Goats

If you are new to livestock equipment, you may need to know a thing or two about the essential equipment pieces to help make your goat business run properly. Here at D-S Livestock Equipment, we are prepared to give you an in-depth look at basic equipment pieces you will need to run a successful business.

Feeders

Like any other animal, it is important to feed your goats. There are several different types of feeders out on the market, from bale feeders, hay baskets, to troughs. Our recommendation would be a combination feeder, where you have the ability to feed your goats hay and grain in one equipment piece.

Located in an area that rains a lot? Not a problem, there are several feeders that offer protection from the outside elements.

Handling Systems

Handling systems can go from very basic to extremely complex. Depending on the size of your business, you will want to choose a system that is right for you. These systems contain components that will allow you to sort, deworm, inspect or tag your goats without harming the animal or you.

Weighing

Weighing your goats is important for your business because it helps record the health of each goat. When you know the weight of a goat, you have the ability to calculate medication dosage, balance food rations and monitor any weight gain.

Work Tables

Having work table is essential for your goat business. Many times it can be difficult to handle, flip and keep a livestock animal still. We provide work table and station options for you so you don’t have to worry about that. Most work tables will secure the animal upright, allowing the goat to be flipped without any complications.

So no matter what your decision is, it is important to always have the safety of you and your animals in mind. Please give a call at [phone] today! We will make sure you have the best for your business.
