I have very little "pasture" land, so I need to take advantage of every lick of green space for the sheep and Uncle Hoosier. Having electric net fencing is a great help, although it is a pain to drag it through briars and try to get the step in posts into my rocky ground. The sheep are wonderful trimmers/mowers. On the top you'll see them in the new area the first day. Below, I have moved the fencing to a new area - less than a week, and with only one full day of grazing later. I have a rotational method that seems to work well and keep the main body of my briars down. I plan to fence in the small orchard area but need to make sure Hoosier can't reach the young apple trees. He will strip a tree barkless in an hour!
