What happens here
To prepare the pasture for broiler chickens, move sheep into an area to graze the grass down to a shorter height. This short grass is preferred by chickens, helps keep them cleaner, and reduces cover for predators. The sheep are contained using electric netting, which is easy to move.
Goal: Shorten grass in preparation for broiler chickens and reduce predator cover.
Tools and materials
- Electric Fence Charger — Providing an electric pulse to the netting for containment
- Electric Netting — Containing sheep within a specific grazing area
- Sheep — Grazing tall grass to a shorter height suitable for chickens
