Does anybody practice intensively managed rotational grazing?  I'm
slowly working toward a grazing model as presented by Joel Salatin in
his books on beef and chickens.  I've been wondering if electric fencing
(particularly single strand) can be used with the hair sheep to contain
them in paddocks which would be rotated daily.  We have a new charger
that packs a heck of a whallop.  Would appreciate any insights.

Also, just idly musing about the use of "tractors" to finish lambs -
i.e. portable, predator proof pens that are moved to fresh grazing
daily.  I've been doing this with broiler chickens and the benefits to
the ground and the birds is stunning.

Thank you!
