A baby sheep was born
A new life has been born. A very cute and healthy baby lamb has been born. The mother sheep is recovering well after giving birth. There is one mother sheep that gave birth to one lamb and another mother sheep that gave birth to twins. At KASAGI, we use software to calculate nutritional requirements and measure out the feed necessary for each sheep, whether they gave birth to one lamb or twins. The mother sheep that gave birth to twins requires more nutrients for postpartum recovery and nursing two lambs. Such care significantly impacts the sheep’s lifespan and health. We also calculate and provide the necessary nutrients for the lambs.…

Sheep Shearing!
Mahito sheared all the sheep on the KASAGI farm. Each sheep yielded 3 to 4 kg of wool. After the shearing, the sheep must have felt lighter. They took off their very heavy wool coats. The weather is warming up, rain is falling, and the pastures are turning green. The green grass will be growing in abundance, and it will be a happy season for the sheep. I feel very happy when I see the sheep eating the green grass. Now I am going to wash the wool I have cut. I would like to wash it with gratitude to the sheep.
