This is my mobile sheep business and the mission is to learn how to produce healthy and nutritious meat exclusively from pasture and mineral salt (and with natural animal health management). In this episode I show how I received the sheep using the Rosemary Morrow NEAP approach (see video about the subject here on the channel), how I am estimating the number of animals I can have on the property and how both I and the animals are adapting to ultra-dense pasture management as a tool to improve the property. I have long been bothered by the fact that we have fewer and fewer opportunities to choose pure and natural foods to nourish our health. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, GMOs and pharmaceuticals that remove natural nutrients and make our food toxic to our health generate a lot of profit for large companies. The role of animals is to improve soil, water infiltration and biodiversity while converting pasture, savanna or silvopastoral areas into food sovereignty and economic viability. On a large scale, ultra-dense pasture management, the work of producer and author Johann Zietsmann (Man, Cattle and Veld), has helped producers free themselves from dependence on chemical inputs, both for soil and plants, and for medicating animals. Sheep farmers who use ultra-dense pasture management in South Africa have helped me test the applicability of these concepts on a farm scale. I started with a small number to do the first safe test, since I could not find breeders who sold animals already adapted (to management exclusively on pasture and natural medicines). Over the course of a few years, the goal is to have adapted animals for those, like me, who want to raise in the most natural way possible on a small and medium scale and have highly healthy and nutritious meat for local consumption and sale. There are more videos about this project coming. Feel free to leave questions and comments so that we can learn together. #ultradensepasturemanagement #holisticmanagement
