[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1501673, member: 14585"] 4 paddocks (north, east, south, west) 7.5 acres each 10 day moving cycle = 30 day recovery time per paddock and 40 days to complete one cycle from start to finish 12 day movement = 36 day recovery and 48 days to complete one cycle 14 day = 42 day recovery and 56 days to complete Start with first paddock and see how many days before they need to be moved, 9 days might be better than 11 ect. rain fall may dictate only 8 days in one paddock, but allow 14 in another... I think you'll just have to try it and see. p.s. 30 acres has a way of shrinking to 29 rather than growing to 31. I have a 20 that only measures 18 but the state says it's a 20 bcs they give me the privilege of paying property tax to the center line of the bordering highway. (my land, but their use... the greatest benefit for all don't ja know) Now the county came through 2 weeks ago saying everyone on my side of the highway has to push their fields back another 4-12 feet to be incompliance.
