When do you let sheep into the vineyards? They don't do any damage? I have a vineyard and two sheep and two goats. I want to let animals into the vineyard after the harvest. It's a good idea ?
They only eat what they can reach and add fertilizer naturally and pest control maybe they eat some of the low hanging stuff, still a good trade off if you ask me.
That's why they run them in the vineyard during specific seasons. During winter, october-april, there are no leaves on the vineyard and the sheep eat all the grasses. Then during spring, may-june, the vineyard has new growth that is vulnerable, so they stop running the sheep through. Around July-August, the new growth has become solid and strong. Leaves and branches are fully formed. So they can run the sheep one more time. Then august-september, the grapes form and are harvested.
