So I have a little predicament. I have just moved my ewes onto some better grass as I need to let our other field rest. I have 60 ewes, 40 of which will be tupped to one our rams and the other 20 to another.
I’ll be tupping at the beginning of October. My original plan was to move the 20 back for the 34 days they will be with one of the rams, but I still think the field needs more time to recover/grow. The field they are all now in is big enough to strip graze so my thought was to use electric to split the field in two, with 40 ewes and a tup one side, and the remaining 20 ewes and tup on the other.
How many strands should I make the fence to stop the tups trying to get through into next door? I was thinking three strands of electric but I really don’t want to end up with the wrong tup on the wrong side of the fence!!
