The icelandic sheep are raised 100% on pasture as soon as the weather permits (May) until it snows (mid-November). During this period, the sheep eat only grass and have access to a new patch of grass every other day. When the snow arrives, they are returned to the barn for the breeding season. They are fed only hay with access to minerals and salt.
The breed of chicken we raise is the rustic ranger. It is a slow growing breed that takes 12 weeks to mature. The first 4 weeks of their life is spend in the warm barn and out of the weather. They must have their adult feathers before going outside. At the end of the fourth week, our chickens are 24 hours on pasture. We move their pen once a week. They are eating grass, insects and grain.
