We installed an electric fence across field 2 recently and moved the sheep there from field 1. The sheep proceeded to eat the grass, requiring our moving the electric fence another strip up the field. You can see the difference in the photo above. Now that the sheep are on the field, we have been able to stop buying in feed for them. They love the grass and there is plenty for them. We will gradually move the fence up the field throughout the summer. In the meantime, field 1 will be left to recover from intensive grazing.
