[QUOTE="Jmorrow, post: 7486228, member: 151081"] We have been roationally grazing for several years now lambs intially graze silage fields set stcked then at 4 to 2 weeks old they move to rotaionally grazing but in smaller mobs that are then joined up For example the 1st 120 doubles will go into 4 mobs of 30 on silage field then into 2 mobs of 60 for the 1st 2 moves on rotation then into one mob of 120 on 3rd move. Seems to work well they need time to learn in smaller groups especialy if using electrified polywire. The ewes are stocked 8-10 ewes per acre and the rotation varies on grass growth and demand but aim for moving paddocks every 2 to 4 days. Tried larger mobs and move daily but had to much problems with cocci, worms and scald. We have fields marched by rivers with no shelter from hedges etc and never had any problems with 4 week old lambs and its not that nice of weather in march here in NI. [/QUOTE]
