And just like that….. most of the pasture is under water but the storm has passed and the rain has slowed down. Everyone is out grazing/ eating hay. Praise God for watering the earth.

Is the electric fence affected by the flood?

I have one of these. It’s awesome!

Why not put up hoop shelters in each field?

Okay, I have to ask. Have been reading your thread and look at the pictures and the sheep all look good. BUT, why are you moving them every 2-3 days? Maybe I am not seeing all the different pastures you have. I am all for rotational grazing, we do it with the cattle. To better utilize the grass and to help with preventing worm infestations in the gut tract.
How often do the different sections get grazed and how much rest in between grazing?

@Baymule beat me to the post-puller . It's worth it - faster and easier than prying them up with a shovel.

I have same puller. Works great!! Not hard to use.

Glad the tornado missed you yesterday!

We didn’t have many parts of the fence under water this time around the water was mostly inside the paddock so it still had charge, but it wasn’t as strong as it usually is.

It’s the same approach with sheep, better for the pasture and sheep. So far so good the paddocks we put them back in now hadn’t been grazed for 45+ days, allowing them to graze the whole front yard allowed for it to be the case.
