The sheep LOVE getting moved to a new pasture paddock every day, and look at them nestled into this meadow of organic perennials. The plants respond very well to this routine, as well, bouncing back quickly after only a day of grazing. But imagine the labor to take down and set up 6-8 new rolls of portable fencing each time? When it's muddy we don't like to drive in field so this involves a lot of walking back and forth carrying fence. Then the sheep's water & mineral troughs must be moved, too. The whole process tends to take about 1-2hrs/day and up to 3hr/day if there's less than ideal circumstances. Moving the sheep in an hour is something to brag about, too, a fast pace which requires fleet feet, hands skilled in not tangling the very tangle-prone portable fence, and an eye for the most efficient & strategic order to set up fence rolls based on lay of land & grazing patterns. #mintcreekdiscoverychannel #ecologicalfarming #grazing #sheeplyfe #illinois #shepherd #shepherdess #organicpastures #perennials
