We rotate between paddocks and I log the in/out dates. I walk the paddocks as I check fencing and look at animals also checking the soil and matter. For several years almost each week I take a panoramic picture of our pastures which has been useful for comparing. The change over the years and season to season is very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Single most important tool is simple electric fencing. We use high tensile smooth wire on the perimeter and polywire/stepin posts for the divisions. Gates simply made by opening wire at the corners. <BR/><BR/>After that it's black plastic 1" water pipe. Great stuff.Walter Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.com
