During the summer when the grass is growing, we move our sheep from one pasture to the next before they graze the grass too short. The sheep are constantly moving, and the grass is constantly growing. When the first pasture has fully recovered, we let them back in to graze it again. The process is called rotational grazing, and it works pretty well. During extended droughts and wintertime, we keep the sheep in one pasture until the grass begins to grow again. That pasture is traditionally called “the sacrifice pasture,” because in theory it’s being sacrificed for the good of all the other pastures.
