[QUOTE="cjk, post: 754571, member: 14172"] I plan to start impementing a rotational grazing managment this spring, with more animals added as forages begin to strengthen and water sources can be added. Currently I am going to start with 25 AU and roughly 25 acres I will be spitting up with polywire and some sort of portable water to move between paddock. I think I can start with either 1 ac moved daily,or 2-3 ac moved in 2-3 days respectively. This will provide about 2-3 weeks between regrazing. If I need longer, I have about 40 acres that will not be rotational grazed this year due to time constraints and wanting to see how this all goes. All of the acreage is irrigated (flood), so I think the 15-20 day rest period should be adequate? Also for informational purposes, I have 80 acres of winter wheat that we will hay in July/Aug and then graze the stubble. (this will give a couple of weeks of rest for the grass as well, and hopefully get some rain then also) WIll a solar charger be adequate for what I am proposing to gaze at one time? Any ideas on what I am forgetting? Any help would be appreciated. I am SE Oregon if that is useful to any responses. Thanks [/QUOTE]
