[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1128735, member: 6543"] I agree with this....the original posted made no mention of how many head of livestock....but I assume it is not many.... I would advocate dividing the 20 acres into 8 2.5 acre paddocks....all you need is a single strand of good hot polywire to make divisions....I would divide it so stock can get to water from each paddock rather than trying to move water ..... with eight divisions you cold move them every five days and every paddock would get 35 days rest between grazings....rest and not grazing the grass into the dirt are the two most important factors is maintaining good grass...... to stockpile in our country we fertilize the fescue in late August and do not go back to it until after a hard frost....this year we had some we did not go to until Jan....
