The sheep like the cowpeas. We gave them a little test strip for a couple days. It will be interesting to see to what extent they grow back from this stubble. Unfortunately, it looks like some of the plants were pulled out of the ground by the sheep in their eagerness to eat the cowpeas. However, on these I could see some nitrogen fixing nodules.
The cowpeas in the south field are looking very nice. Next will be figuring out the best way to feed them to the sheep. Using the net fence to control their access in some way will probably be best. However, net fence is mostly deployed in other areas.
