just arranged first ever sheepToday I arranged 7 sheep Shetlands ? nature's child's choice of bread.3 supposedly in lamb 3 last years lambs and one castrated male( give me a day and he's going straight in to the freezer). I have 3 1/2 acres split into two fields how often should I rotate them between the two fields. Everyone I have spoken to have had there own ideas just wondering what the average would be. |

If you can arrange to have them wormed before you bring them onto your land you will do yourself a lot of favours.
I can only imagine that your grass quality wont be terrific until about May/June so havnt a clue how often you'll have to rotate them. |

This might be helpful. It's about sward height as well as mixed grasses. |
