1. Improve production costs expand grazing season to cut down on hay bill increase production per ewe increase gains on lambs
2. Increase flock to level of sustainability – financial, produce more
lamb3. Increase tree inventory on ranch to increase woodlot
AAC while protecting wildlife and ecological values and creating an multi-aged tree diversity
This is what we had at the time to work with: 100 – 105 lb lamb finished on grass at 3-5 months
