Re: Young Cambodian Shepherd with 100 Sheep
Pack any grazing animals together shoulder to shoulder and they can turn any grassland barren. Aren’t shepards supposed to allow their flock to disperse over a wide area and then move them constantly to prevent that from happening?

It's all about the girl. ewe management, she is basically everything, including the farmers profit. To be honest the sheep can be used for advantage, such has being in control of managing such grassland, that is if the farmer puts in his work and knowledge too. In Yorkshire the sheep graze on the moors and in the Dales, they do have a large area and seem to roam, but they are managed. The drystone walls help from straying into too much harm, but too they are good on their escape.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:44 am Pack any grazing animals together shoulder to shoulder and they can turn any grassland barren.

Always "hope" but never "expect".

In the news again, with the farm developing as a tourist attraction:
Tourists flock to mountain sheep farm for picture perfect scenery

Kampong Chhnang is home to a very lucky flock of sheep that are able to spend their days peacefully ambling about a verdant green field that is surrounded by beautiful Oral mountain scenery, providing the sheep with stunning views in every direction.
Of course, the sheep take little notice of anything other than the grass they munch all day, but there’s an abundance of it as well as peace and quiet, and the combination makes it a paradise for them.
The field and its resident flock are owned by Organic Sheep Farm and are located in Khvit Tuol Khlaing village of Kbal Teuk commune in Kampong Chhnang province’s Teuk Phos district near the Oral mountain range area bordering Kampong Speu province, roughly 110km from Phnom Penh.
The beauty of this idyllic and pastoral setting may not impress the flock of sheep much, but people definitely love it. The location has become a romantic spot for couples and selfie central for tourists, who like to snap photos of themselves standing amid hundreds of adorable grazing sheep.
The amount of interest from visitors has become so great that the farm’s owner, Bun Chan Virak, turned it into a side business. He recently announced the addition of wedding photography packages for couples starting at $100, among other tourism focused initiatives.

Re: Young Cambodian Shepherd with 100 Sheep
There's a fellow here in Kampot in the International Village that has a flock, Dutch guy I think. Spends all day wandering with them. His flock has been growing every year, has great rams that produce lots of twins and even a few triplets, he too as I'm told is a self taught newbie Shepard.
Sells manure when he cleans the barn twice a year,; makes cheese and sells out quick; sells meat by the half I think; and can be talked into selling a lamb and ewe if you want to try your hand at raising your own.
