Do you have a vid like this for sheep or is it basically the same?

[@HeiferUSA]

@@brich2929 GREAT QUESTION. We do not have a video like this specifically for sheep, but yes we use the same setup for them at our ranch if we need to make temporary paddocks.

Great Channel! I am going to see if I can use it to culture interest in daughter with our pigs and sheep! Very good instructions. Learning something new even though I have been doing cattle this way for years.

What are your recommendations for a person wanting to learn how to farm with no land living in the city?

[@Bananos_Joe]

Hello, I like your videos, but I still haven't found an answer to what if I want to raise 8 piglets. This requires an 800 square meter pen, where they spend 5-10 days and then go to the next one. But how many of these areas do you need to grow and not destroy the area? Greetings from Hungary!

[@Casey6996]

For start have nice long grass with a mixture of oats. They will eat the grass first before they start digging up the ground when they start to do that move them to the next one usually once a week. At my friends farm they have 6 x 4000 sqr meter paddocks so that they have at least 6 weeks to recoup and grow the grass again and only 2 strands of wire for the electric fence
