About this episode

Liv and Rachel share updates from their homesteads and discuss line breeding, terminal sires, and the importance of culling in flock management.

Liv and Rachel sit down and share updates from both their homesteads. We then discuss the differences between line breeding in your flock, how that is similar or different to inbreeding, why and when to use a terminal sire, and the necessity of culling hard in your flock. We also discuss the mindset shift to being willing to butcher culls and excess rams briefly.
