How long have you been rotationally grazing sheep on your pasture?
I'm assuming this is the 2nd rotation this season & not the second rotation ever.
The katahdin hair sheep have completed their second grazing loop of the pastures at the homestead. This video goes over why to rotational graze and how the sheep are managed.

The sheep are moved every 2-4 days to a fresh paddock to help evenly distribute their impact and fertility as well as break the parasite cycle. Once the paddocks are grazed they are given 30-45 days rest to recover and regrow. Generally the flock is able to graze each paddock 5 times throughout the season. We raise the lamb for our own consumption and to sell for Bitcoin through p2p interactions with Bitcoiners at meetups all across Michigan and surrounding areas.

You got it, they are on the second loop for the season. We have been grazing the pastures for years.
Your sheep look really healthy & super chill around humans.
I'm surprised as sheep are generally pretty skittish & dumb.
Has the pasture improved dramatically since moving to rotational grazing?
