Quindalup Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 We plant trees in rows 4 metres apart and trees every 3 metres down the row which equals 400 to the acre - 2.5 rai If the ground is low lying and wet use a 3 disk plough or similar to mound up the dirt in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache9441 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I've had a few sheep, they do fine. Sheep like to browse just like Goats, they will browse your trees and everything else to about a Metre high and leave the grass alone. if the trees are tall and established then it's no problem. most people see sheep in a pastoral setting eating grass as far as the eye can see. no trees, no bushes, nothing but grass. The sheep made it that way, be careful Edited April 27, 2013 by apache9441 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdenner Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Isn't it too hot for sheep here? Wouldn't be heat alone! The high humidity and disease is a major factor. My extended family have had a sheep station near Tipoburra (Broken Hill) NSW Australia for 3 generations now. Not many places on Earth hotter and more unforgiving than there and the sheep survive very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Friend of mine ran a few head of sheep in the high humidity area. He told about noticing the wool turning a green color, upon closer look, the grass/weed seeds were sprouting from the wool. As he noted another expermental failure.

See Russ is yet to decide what he wants to do in Thailand. He talked about sheep and many other things. On the way back to OZ he stopped in New Zealand to check out a lead he got in Thailand. Into a taxi and off to the sheep station (farm). But they offshot the turning so Russ says to the cabby, "Can you make a U turn?". The Kiwi responded,"Man I can make her eyes water!" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim armstrong Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ok Quindalup ignore all the gumboot jokes. There are some sheep in Thailand, but not many because of the humidity, the parasite problem and flies in the denser woolled varieties. If you live in the north where it's a bit cooler you have a better chance . You can graze them under trees, and unlike goats they don't climb as much and providing they have good grass they won't ringbark the trees like goats. You do need good fencing. Orchards are quite good with them, but they will sometimes get tangled if they are in full wool . Go for the breeds that are taller,have less wool on their legs, and look a bit more like goats. Goats are hardier and adapt better to different climates, but they are also wanderers and will climb over fences and eat just about anything including your favourite plants. Sheep will graze grass down to bare earth as like goats they only have a bottom set of teeth and will pull the short grass out. They thrive better where the grass is drier and there is more seed rather than green grass which often gives them the shits and has less nourishment. You will need to shear them once a year. and maybe drench them for worms if it's a wet year. I don't know how much land you have but start with a small number. PM me if you would like more info.
