Exciting to see our band of Dorper ewes are beginning to bag up! Every day they’re getting a little supplemental protein to support their nutrition in the weeks leading up to lambing, later this month. Happy gals!

Broom be gone!
Our goats did an excellent job of treating these heavy French broom areas in this oak understory. Each of those sticks was a full and dense French broom stand. Not only did they eat the green leaves, but stripped the bark and even ate parts of the stems! With repeated annual treatments, we’re hoping for very minimal regrowth!

Hey gals👋 great to see ya!

California’s minimum wage for goat herders quadrupled this month due to a shift in the state’s interpretation of its labor code and the expiration of a temporary solution. 🐐

As of July 1, employees who graze goats on fire-prone landscapes will earn $240,000 a year, according to an estimate by the California Farm Bureau.

The regulatory accident, differentiating sheep herders from goat herders, could soon have real consequences. If the mistake is not fixed, ranchers said that within weeks, they will be forced to shut down their businesses and sell off tens of thousands of animals. They said the loss of goats could result in hundreds of herders losing their jobs, and it could cripple one of the primary tools California uses to reduce wildfire fuels.

💬“We will ship all the goats out of California and have them slaughtered,” said Robert McGrew, vice president and CEO of Dixon-based vegetation management company Ecosystem Concepts Inc. in Solano County.
