big brown horse
Hoof In Mouth
Please help me understand this idea. All I know is that you confine the grazer to smaller areas until they have gleaned the area of grass, weeds etc. How big should the area be for say, 2 sheep?
I'm guessing another added benefit is keeping the worm population down, especially if rotated every 21 days. Am I right?
I am thinking about doing this with my two sheep. I have 1 acre of land for them to use. Mostly grass, some forest and a fruit-tree orchard.
I have 7 or so pipe panels and a bunch of t-posts, so I can contain them in a portable corral..
I am already going to build (another, stronger and more thought out) pig pen. It is going to be two corrals connected by a gate. I plan on rotating him from one to another. Then next year (after he is butchered) I will be turning it into more garden space.
