I'm convinced that sheep and cattle in the same operation has more benefits than problems but I have a couple questions.
1. In a rotational grazing system do you run them together or follow one with the other? Which should come first?
2. What ratio (#cattle to #sheep) is good? Any rules of thumb? Assume that cattle are the main crop. I know this depends on many factors but give me a place to start, please. Rule that makes most sense to me so far is one ewe per two cows, but I have heard MUCH higher (in favor of the sheep) than that!
