[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1650916, member: 6543"] this is what I was going to suggest .....using an alley rather than a pie shape....often the far ends of pie slices do not get grazed evenly and the close ends are abused. the more paddocks you have and the more often you move them the better your grass will be. avoid over grazing and allow the paddocks plenty of rest....amount of rest needed depends on your environment... if the alley is much longer than about 800 feet the biggest thing you will see is that the whole herd will go to water together.....so you have to make sure the supply is adequate......for shorter distances individual cows will go to water when they are thirsty....we used to have a four or five acres woodlot and the water trough was in the sun about a 100 yards away.....I use to watch cows all day long walking over individually and getting a drink and then back to the shade.....when they were on another part of the farm they had to go much further and the whole herd went to water about twice per day....
