Rotationally Grazing Sheep on a Small Scale 

Great video! Thank you folks!

Great video, thank you. If your farm is small scale then my 3 sheep on 1 acre must be a micro-mini…🤣

Just found this, very informative! *New Sub*

jist found yer channel an subbed,,yer doin what ai wanna do,do ya feed yer flock on the garden in winter ta fertilise? thank ya fer the video

How many inches of pasture do you need before you move them back to that paddock?

Do you have to worry about water?

I have 13 as well how big of paddocks are you using?

mob grazing is usually done at 150,000+ lbs of stocking weight per acre, what research has found is that lowering the stocking weight to roughly 100,000 lbs per acre (intensive grazing, but more reasonable), you improve the animals foraging efficiency and promote better regrowth. you generally only want to give your animals enough pasture for the day, so that way they eat most of it, rather than selectively grazing and wasting a lot of it. looks to me like you might want to increase the stocking rate to get a more even graze. We graze all winter with only a little hay supplement towards the end of the year, you just have to stockpile the pastures before winter, even if it snows, the sheep will push the snow aside to get to it (as long as the snow isn't ridiculously deep or covered in ice). that should reduce the amount of hay you need to feed, and make your flock more profitable. You can incorporate livestock into a garden system, but it requires land rotation. you rotate land out of cash crop production and into annual grazing cover crops, and rotate the sheep through, and then in following year(s) rotate it back to cash crops. as long as you had your weeds under control before you seed it to grazing, the sheep and annual cover crops will keep it under control. there is another way that I have played around with, but it requires more land and it to be seeded to perennials for a couple of years, then mold board plowed to terminate the perennial grasses and immediately seeded to an annual grazing mix, then cash cropped for a year.

Smart about the parasites!

Are you trying to intense grasing or mob grasing? Are your patics to large? What does it look like after they gased for a day?

Is this possible with two or three sheep and half an acre of pasture?

Do you need to feed anything other than Grass .. ?

They look like they're in fantastic condition. What breed? Have you ever followed them with poultry after.? That's what I'd really like to do. Chicken tractors two days later.

Do you get much more sheep per acre the more often you rotate them?

Do you seed or it grows naturally ? Coz that look pretty good.

do they sleep outside?

id make thinne strips so they stamp on more grass

What is the size of each paddock and how many sheep in each paddock.

Terrific vid! Did you sow the grasses or let them develop naturally? Also, I understand your no-till approach, but did you maybe till the first time at seeding? or? Thanks in advanced

How much land do you have that you working with

Rotational grazing versus mob grazing is it basically the same?

I'm vegetarian and wondering if herding sheep just for milk and wool is a feasible business model or even sustenance farming model. I am also wondering if sheep would actually eat hemp if it was sowed and if they would produce milk containing CBD.

What type of grass?

Have you thought of using a dog to help you? They can help you when they escape! I use working Aussies on my flock

Any predator's you have to defend from
