Welcome to BRG! My name is Kelsey Keeling, my husband and I are scrappy farmers working to breeding up a flock of Australian Whites in South Central Kansas.
We started this TH-cam channel to take you along as we breed up our Katahdin ewes to an Australian White rams to produce a sheep that has it all.
Low Input- Good Fleshing- Excellent Mothering- & Premium Meat
We hope our videos inspire you to think outside the box and educate you on regenerative ranching with hair sheep.

I'm by no means an expert in electric netting, but the biggest piece of advice I can give is be patient while setting up and tearing down the net. I rotate with net daily to include wooded and brushy areas. For those areas a heavy brush blade on a weed eater is a great tool for cutting a path, same concept as you are doing in open pasture. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your flock develop with the Australian White genetics as I am considering the same program.
Exciting stuff happening on the farm!! th-cam.com/video/p1Tuhv698Aw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7XnGl6P3qw0Yl2zh
So much netting!
Is that pen high enough for the Ram to mount the Ewe?
On this covered part no but 1/3 of it has an open top. I think I show it better in this video: Putting our Australian White Embryo Ewes in the new Lamb-borghini | 2024 Sheep Breeding th-cam.com/video/2Llq3xmTj2M/w-d-xo.html
Great podcast, learnt a lot. From N. Ireland.
@@ivandavidson5599 thanks! Hope to start kicking out more after the holidays 👍🏻
I am excited for you.
@@elizebethparker5412 thank you!! We are excited too! I was just thinking about you the other day! I’m going to PM you on Facebook to see if you’d like to talk sheep on the podcast! 😊
I would love to be on your podcast. I will email you.
Very nice well done
@@sonjareer6003 thank you!
Nice bunk!
@@practicalsheepman thank you! I know Ryan is excited to get them out of the shed but it will be great to see them in a few years on pasture with 200+ sheep using them 😍

One of the biggest issues facing commercial lamb producers in the eastern US is having to compete with hobby farms that don't run their operation as a business. These hobbyists continue to supply the market with lambs at a loss using off farm income to support their project. A significant percentage of lambs sold in the eastern US come from operations that don't need to make a profit to survive.
I often take lambs to auction barn and tell them to only sell under market value. Please Gawd no more money I have an off the farm job..
@@mjfair7691 I guess you don't understand the point I am making.
Omgsh!!!! My 2 favorite sheep people in one episode!!! No way! you guys are making all my sheepy TH-cam dreams come true 😂. Keep up the good work ladies I'm loving all the Australian White content.
I watch her all the time
This was a great episode, thanks for sharing!
❤ Question: do you have livestock to eat some dry senescent grass or do you burn in the spring? Not a rancher so I don't know.
Why do I not see a link for imos?
Hey @@jwilliams8320 , just checked and there are a few links in the notes. Here is the link to Guardian Grains IMOS page: www.guardiangrains.com/imos
Just found your site. Really enjoyed the interview. It gave me new ideas. We are starting our 3rd season with Kadathan sheep with 18 ewes.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the Talk. Great to learn and find folks (more folks) that have katahdins and rotational grazing. Guardian donkey 👍🏼 Maybe take bio-char and charge with imos?
Charging BIOCHAR with IMOS is a FANTASTIC idea 🎉
CDT vaccine should be given to pregnant ewes who have been previously vaccinated and boostered annually 3-4 weeks before lambing. Lambs should be vaccinated at weaning and boostered 3-4 weeks later. You may get by without vaccinating if you are finishing on grass. If you are feeding them on concentrates and they are gaining well, you will probably lose several lambs to enterotoxemia.
I have some questions you need to ask your self. Why TWO bud boxes? And the angle gate fence in the last bud box before the chute was Confusing? Cows are simple minded.
Are they still taking orders. I know I’m 3 months late
I think they will have some for sale. Check with the association and they can put you in contact with the right person. www.aawsba.com/contact
What a great listen Austin. On the small numbers we had mortality was high with Barbers pole. As he mentioned the mental strain got too much.
A good listen. I run dorper ewes n lambs. 20 head. I'm no longer have any as Barbers Pole worm, wild called it quits. With the worms 🪱 I spoke to the original breeder who was a vet. His answer tome was, worn today then day 15 then day 30. I then done the same process. It worked and in the control, but we were in a decent drought, Queensland Australia. Then I head you say that you wormed similar at the early stage of their life and the other was rotational grazing. Of recent times I've thought of making a sheep caravan 20'x 8' and housing 6 weaner sheep. Yes worm the same programme then they would be moved everyday. 😊🇦🇺
Great Work, Kelsey!
How much is a male? How much is a female of the Aussie whites selling for?
How much are the sheep worth?
Yes to video on bunks. Subscribing now. Would also love a cattle and “total grazing” update. Blessings and thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for sharing this information!
So true 👍
What exciting news! How many embryos did you get this time around?
@@kaleagustafson2010 just 6! 😊
have the same fence for our goats. its great to have
Curious what your supplementation requirements are on pasture like this? Are you feeding grain or hay daily?
Here’s what we are currently doing. LATE SUMMER / FALL SHEEP PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT | Soaked Alfalfa Pellets on Warm Season Grasses th-cam.com/video/XBGThwHSmPI/w-d-xo.html
Sometimes it takes a BOOT to get them out!
I would really like to see the money comparison cattle to sheep if we could get him to do another episode
I really enjoyed this episode
Great episode!
Low life humans with no skills of any kind, are always animal explorers. Get fcked
We have a few that have bred in the first year but historically their lambs are not as large and delicate at birth. I like to wait an additional year and have the new lambs healthy and more developed for better success.
I just brought a Meramma to my flock. No experience with sheep, but cattle and chickens. We have chickens too. Did I make a mistake?
@@pretzeltwisttwist7740 I have a friend who breeds Merammas. She says that they are a “sticky dog” meaning that they bond to their animal or their humans very well. So I think you should be good. I would just make sure to keep a close eye on the dog for the first few weeks to make sure that they’re bonding with the sheep. Nip any problems in the butt ASAP. But as long as she’s staying with the sheep and showing interest in them, you should be good off to a good start. Best of luck!
@@BalancedRuminantGrazers thank you for your response! Any tips on helping them bond to the sheep? He is currently chasing them and the ram is getting annoyed. We are having the dog sleep in a stall at night with the sheep, hoping that helps.
You both are so talented and entrepreneurial!
Frozen embryos from aus would likely work and you would then have quality genetics worth good money rather than lamb lol.
OMG Love the car seats on the 4 wheeler!!
Awesome work, I need one of those! Would love to see how you did the wheels up close. I think the hay feeder was a great idea also.
What age are you breeding your F1 ewe lambs?
We are exposing them to the ram at 5-6 months old but not all will get bred. I would guess 30-50% will get bred. They just don't have the body size on them yet in our breed up program. If they don't get bred the first year they are definitively ready to go the following year.
@@BalancedRuminantGrazers Thank you. I just bought F1’s and they will be bred at 7/8 months of age (November). I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story.
Awesome! Best of luck to you! The AW does put some size on the lambs so watch for that. I worry about it most with my smaller framed Katahdins. I have no worries about my F1s lambing out their 2nd year though!
@@BalancedRuminantGrazers yes, I’m happy to be starting with a slightly larger framed F1 vs the standard framed Kathadins. Hoping to breed up over the next few years. Let’s keep in touch. We may be able to make deals on rams if fresher genetics are needed.
@@TravisClark-t5g yes! Reach out to me via email at brg@balancedruminantgrazers.com . I’d like to hear where you are located and goals for your flock 😊
Nice Video
Wow! Thank goodness you weren’t more seriously hurt.
I know! Thats our ONE RULE --go slow because no one needs to get hurt. I didn't listen very well that morning
What is the supplement?
I like how you teach people to plan facilities for where they going to be not where you are.
The ewes look amazing!
@@gamatattoos they are pretty, aren’t they?! Can’t wait for you to have some as well 😝
