Glad it was helpful!

Excellent information! I'm East of you and may be giving you a call about both sheep and goats after our land management designs are completed. Keep up the great videos!

Thank you!

Very educational and enjoyable, you're a good teacher. I was wondering if it would be worth while to plant a few (5-7) trees in each of your paddocks that don't have shade? Over a decade (about the time your heavy duty shade cloth would be worn out?) you wouldn't need the shade cloth anymore anyway. Might need to put some robust temporary fence around them initially, so they don't get eaten :P

Great suggestion! I was hoping to plant some fast growing hybrid populars this past Fall but I couldn't find any that were reasonably priced (I will need quite a few). This year I'm going to leave a strip in the middle of my largest fields and just see what comes up volunteer.

I have not figured out how to fence some of my steep hill areas. A 4 wheeler or a tractor cannot be used. Although the goats would have no problem. 😜

Love the vids! Have you been able to keep goats behind 2 wires or just sheep?

Sometimes. This summer we have had good rain and every paddock has had plenty of good browse and the goats have been content behind two strands. Last summer I was not as successful with containing goats with only two strands. Sheep have never given me much of a problem.

Thanks for putting these videos out. I am wondering if you mow each paddock after you move the animals out? If not, does it matter if the less desirable grasses/plants go to seed?

Great question! I’m doing some experimenting with mowing vs not mowing. Through the years I only mow once in the Fall or not at all. But I do have a lot of undesirable weeds. Maybe in the future I can give you an answer as to which is better.
