1.Test the ledging.
2.Test the soil content
3.Rotation must be even
4.Don’t let grass get to tall or to short.

This is everything I have learned in the last 10 months of sheep farming. But it has only need 10 months about grazing.
Thank you :)
How is it going for you so far?

It is going great with my sheep my family where dairy farmers so everything with soil and grazing has been figured out before but we just have to customize it to sheep. The only problem we have is that they used to bury dead cows/bulls and over the years we have found random cow/bull parts in the ground. The sheep graze in our hay fields. We produce hay for local farms in our area and the sheep graze in each field the entire week after they get cut. It is about 100 acres and I only have 3 sheep so not to much ever gets eaten or fertilized but it works for us.👍

That’s pretty awesome! What would you grow for sheep?
