Started off the third grazing loop for the Katahdin hair sheep in the woods.

This paddock had just over 40 days of rest before the sheep returned to graze again.

They ate not only the grasses but also the leaves off the young trees as well.

I broke the tops of the sapling trees down to give them extra food and to let more light in so more grass can grow.

Looks like the clover I broadcast late winter is starting to take hold in this paddock. It's amazing how quickly it can transform with only a handful of times grazing the sheep through.

Thinking of getting some Florida Cracker sheep. Never had sheep before. Any entry level advice? What type of fencing do you use and do they have to have a lane back to their shelter (or do you lead them back and forth every day)? How many heads per acre do you graze?
