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.

Took the sheep 14 days to complete grazing this pasture

The two strong paddocks at the end made up for the fast ones to start. Makes sense in a way, because we grazed the pasture in reverse this time around. So the first paddocks were a little short and the last has extra time.

Now the sheep are working thier way through the high ground where the pasture is generally pretty good. There are 6 paddocks here, now that we are using two of the weakest for the winter paddocks (to be planted with a turnip mix). I don't think it will quite make the requisite 15 days but let's fuck around and find out.
