[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 6077416, member: 441"] Pete, to pick up on a point you've made many times - animal impact. I presume you mean in terms of trample effect? This will be very dependant on rainfall/ ground conditions I'm thinking? Sheep give plenty of impact in wetter conditions! I guess your system allows plenty of chance for variation by moving more times per day in adverse conditions. But that ties you (or someone) to being there most of the time surely? What happens if you and the family go out for the day and there's torrential rain? Do you come home to a mess? This is what I've found with wintering the sheep on a grass system. If we have heavy rain and I'm not around or held up from moving them it quickly turns brown. To be fair it also recovers pretty quickly but not ideal. [/QUOTE]
