[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1686279, member: 28532"] So far I just use it as a two pasture setup. Start them on the two smaller patches , then just go by what's out there. Been three weeks on the small ones, moving across the road tomorrow to the two bigger ones that are just one big one now. The hotwire the landowner had to section o the big one off into two, I took it out. Fought it for a year, it was a mess, two 17ga wires that I couldn't keep hot, multiflora rose grown up in it, deer run through it, etc. The plan is to put a single HT strand up to make the big one into two again, but time hasn't allowed that yet. I'll have to combat some brush to get it how I want it, and I've had other fencing projects going, so that one's on the back burner. Given that, I haven't been able to rotate as intensively as I would like too yet, but any rest will be beneficial, especially in winter. Had a pasture that had briar thickets you could hide a truck in, had to have cows off from Nov-spring for deer season. Within a couple years the grass was so thick you couldn't hardly walk through it in late May. Kenny or some of the others are more knowledgeable than me, but what you've described should work well. Go by the grass, graze half, leave half, you'll be happy with the results. [/QUOTE]
