That's who I was going to suggest as well.
But if it's in China I'd say best not to bother at all why would they do all that work and go to all that expense when they could just come here and buy he lamb and beef direct from us

I'd sure like to see a map of your current working area I guess if there's a lake or river you'd be best to set your paddocks up around that.
Maybe 32 paddocks of 500 for rotational grazing system?

Just design it yourself with a gps app.
Edit- or I can come and do it with a gps app. £300/day plus expenses

I saw you had one of those for your store lambs. Can you send the link again? I thought it looked very impressive.

FieldsAreaMeasure is the app. Avail on iOS and Android.
I've got the premium version, so can sync across devices. Do the planning on the iPad at home then use the phone GPS in the field.
For places without mobile signal you can Bluetooth connect to an external GPS.
In that central block those paddocks are all 1ha, apart from the very bottom left which is the handling system.

Do you reckon that software could be used for designing radial layouts for pig paddocks?

Yes. Probably not as effectively though, as it draws straight lines.
Thank you very much.. Will call him

That's it on the ground. Low resistance poly wire is 5p/m. Plastic stakes at ÂŁ1/each, approx 1 every 10m. Wooden posts with screw in insulators for corners. I reckon materials for the whole thing are approx 30p/m.
A few empty rappa reels and I can lift the whole thing in a week.
Brrrr.

I liked North Dakota when I was there. Guess you house in winter? How do you find the Chinese? My wife has a Taiwanese stepmother and there some of the nicest most welcoming people I've met. Puts the scroates over here to shame.

What size did you use? We did a split system, three lines from one tank. First line was 900 of 50mm pipe and then three 150m latereals of 40mm. the second line was 600m of 50mm with the final 150m being 40mm pipe, the house supple comes from the same tank and is 500m of 50mm pipe. Pipe is the cheap bit and big sizes future proofs the system.
