Amazes me how they're going to town chomping!
Katahdin hair sheep moving to fresh grass after 4 days grazing thistle.

The sheep ended up tolerating the thistle for a full 4 days but they are ready to get back to eating the luscious clover and grass they are used to. I'm thinking they can graze this paddock for 3 days because it got almost 60 days rest from last grazing.
This is the last paddock in this pasture even though it was the first in the last pass. We changed up the grazing pattern and grazed it backwards from last time. By grazing in the opposite direction, we had better path to pull shade shelter, milking stanchion, and water all together. Creatively use and respond to change.
