The main purpose of raising mutton sheep is to gain weight, and it is necessary to pay attention to improving the quality of mutton. Generally speaking, the quality of mutton raised in livestock is better than that raised in captivity, but after sale and production, the taste is completely different, so, many sheep farmers will adhere to the four seasons of grazing, in addition to extreme weather mowing and feeding, most of the time is grazing. Today, I mainly want to talk about the management of sheep grazing and some matters needing attention. Let's take a look.

1. Spring

After a winter, most of what we eat in winter is hay and some configured fodder, and the sheep want to eat fresh grass very much, but at the low temperature in early spring, there are a lot of forage grass, vegetables have just grown, some have not yet grown, there is not much fodder, some are still winter withered grass, do not let sheep eat some withered grass, easy to get sick. The grass grows at the end of spring and is suitable for grazing, so we can graze more, but we should graze on a sunny day. If we eat the grass better, if it is a mountainous area, it may be more abundant in spring, but it is difficult to manage, and it is easy to get lost sheep.

2. Summer

There is plenty of forage in summer, so we should seize the time to fatten the sheep, but we should pay attention to the high temperature in summer and there are many kinds of worms. When stocking, we should pay attention not to huddle together, drive them away and raise them openly. In addition, we should sprinkle anti-insect powder around the stocking farm to prevent insects from harming the sheep. Pay attention to the sanitary environment of the farm, avoid high temperature breeding germs, and often clean the excrement of sheep and some dry grass. Attention should be paid to the construction of stocking grounds in areas with slightly higher terrain and facing the wind. You can find some insect repellent herbs to feed, which is better for your health. Do not breed on rainy days, do not breed too high in the mountains, it is difficult to walk.

3. Autumn

During the critical period of fattening, the grass begins to bear seeds, and the grass seeds contain a lot of protein and fat, which can provide a lot of energy for sheep, so it is necessary to breed more, so that the weight gain is faster and the sheep are easy to fatten. At this time is also the main breeding season, to breed, rams and ewes need a lot of nutrition, need to eat a lot of juice rich pasture, you can go to the stream side grazing. It will get cold in late autumn, so you should pay attention to grazing on a sunny day and eat grass that has been basked in the sun.

4. Winter

There is still some fresh forage in early winter. At this time, we should take advantage of more stocking, and at the same time, we should also begin to harvest and dry the grass. If the harvested grass is planted alone, it has not been trampled by the sheep. These reserves feed the sheep hay in winter. Stocking is not too far away, just near the farm, pregnant ewes can come out to bask in the sun and graze when the sun is good. Vivid, do not come out to graze, there is no grass, but also prone to frostbite. It's okay to walk out in the sun once in a while.

Conditional breeding areas, breeding hot sheep should be more to graze, grassland areas are more convenient, but the forage is not very rich. The mountain area is full of grass and deep in forest, so we should be careful not to get lost or eat grass that cannot be eaten. The quality of grazing sheep is better in the four seasons.
