[QUOTE="KevinN, post: 1659645, member: 39419"] Hi Folks, Kevin from New Jersey, long time lurker and for that I thank you for your insights. I have a small farm 15 ac, and I have about 15 hair sheep and 3 cows. I have them in a sacrifice area during the winter where I bale feed in a cheap ring which I move to deposit the organics. Different worst area each winter. So they're off the 10 ac of pasture from Nov to late April. I try not to let them eat the pasture too low because I understand that the root system suffers and your pasture is not as healthy in the Spring. I'm wondering if it's possible to let the herd graze the pasture down, after it goes dormant, without damaging the root systems? With a small farm, I never seem to have as much forage as I need. If my idea is sound, it would get me good winter grazing. Any opinions? Thanks, Kevin [/QUOTE]
