    Interesting point on rotating paddocks so you aren't using them the same time every year. Funny because it seems so basic yet I never thought about it before.

    👋 Hi. This would take planning on paper with a great deal of thought and good knowledge of your property. The soil would have to be suitable for all animals that would be grazing on it....I would think. 🤷‍♀️ Be blessed. Much success in all your planning and work. 🥰

    What do you plant in your grazing area? I have a 3-3.5 acre area that has been hay for the last 30years. I have purchased the land about 8 years ago and started mowing it. Not taking anything off. I would like to have beef and chickens to help regenerate the soil. Any ideas?
