One thought on “How to Set Up Paddocks For Managed Grazing”
We set up our pastures similarly, making 8 long “super-“paddocks, and have been very happy with it. With fewer cows, we actually just strip-graze it, moving the leader polywire fence a couple times a day, and a follower every 2-4 days. But could set up flexible-sized paddocks as well. It allows for all those points mentioned: variation of grazing intensity and pressure, variation of time between movements, larger fenceless areas when clipping, etc.
