[QUOTE="toquark, post: 7473691, member: 72428"] I’m about to launch a small rotational grazing trial this year. Everything's set up and ready to roll, the only concern I have is the lack of shelter in some of the paddocks. The field is relatively flat and uniform (why it was chosen). Wouldn’t be an issue on days like today but when it’s 2 degrees and sideways rain I can see ewes and particularly lambs getting pretty fed up, usually on days like that they’ll find a sheltered corner behind a dyke or under a tree. Does anyone have any work arounds or am I over thinking it and they’ll be fine? Running mainly pure Easycare ewes with a few Lleyns too, all from good hardy hill stock and I make a point of not pampering them too much despite our relatively modest numbers. [/QUOTE]
