mary told me that that she is all starts with the animals and i have made husband dave here to tell me about the animals so what is this pat oh this is where the animals come to go back to the barn every milking right now and this is the area were grazing i would say this is a forty acre piece that will reach rotation a graze rigaud through the woods you'll see the different areas where we have graze and where we will be grazing and we come and get them every four milking and bring them back after dog spooked him behind us and ran over us and it was after dark and he had a flashlight all i could see was a flashlight just shaken down there so i jumped down on him and covered him up and we got t i have to guardian dogs with these sheep there's about one hundred sheep in here they're pups but they're able to handle this because the other dogs at night will patrol up here also we could not have sheep if we didn't have the dogs did you breed these dogs yeah yeah these these are dogs that were born and raised on on this farm the months old me well they're not doing their job they to well first of all little history on the spanish ranger mastiff to my knowledge before two thousand and two there were none in the united states that i know of and mary and i went to spain and picked up her grandparents and i've been actually dogs so what they'll do is they do not attack but they will retreat to the sheep and the last resort would be to fight bear hate the dogs so how do you get them to hang out with the lands like this well even before they're born will put wool and where the mother lays down so she'll be bringing in the scent of the wall and as soon as they're big enough where they want to be injured we put sheep in with them basically their dog things their sheep with teeth so you get milk for the cheese from both sheep and cows correct let's go see the cows all right hey pecan hyper gone they're like pets oh hi how are you this one is blossom round head because she was a little calf i raised all these guys from kit from calves she had just a perfectly round head this is my favorite collar this is sugar and she is half jersey half scottish highlander and she has horns yes that comes from the highlander you know they don't have to be scared of the horns which always have to be aware of them she will never hurt your purpose but she does when your head ar coming in clipped the grass and that eliminates competition so the good grasses can grow back up how long will it be before you go back to the spot you think i'll take a cut in the hay here before i come back so it'll probably be next spring and he said that the  yeah they make good companions in the pasture because they don't share the same taste for the grass the cows will eat grass it's a lot older and starch whereas the sheep like the younger  are the cows like the clover well they both eat the clover but i think that sheep will eat the smaller clover and the cows eat the bigger clover so that's why they they companion it nice and that will give you a real sweetness in your m it's amazing how each column knows its order very seldom do they come in a different order the next cows should be pecan the milk six hours takes me about forty five minutes to know the sixth time i don't really hurry through too fast and i originally got these cows because i was going to have a beef herd so there's this cow american now is a half angus have jersey and she'll give about four four gallons of milk a day which i think is very good for the for this breed we also have some that are half jersey have scottish highlander in there but her fat is really high we started milking them because we had a lack of sheep no blast year and so we needed more milk and we liked it so much our customers like the cheese so we went ahead and we went that's a perfect example of the flavors of northern wisconsin they graze on the grasses and not just grass but wild flowers and older grasses are very herbal flavored and when they do that they bring all those
