Not slacking multitasking
I just wondered who used it and if you had any pics, most on google seem to be US based and not quite so muddy!
At this time of year we would normally move our two on our summer acre of grass and leave the 3 that they have had in bits over the winter to grow up for hay. But due to Franks not quiet soundness he isn't in proper work and this is likely to be an weight issue now and throughout most of the summer tbh
even though we strip graze, there is rather a lot of grass for them to get rid off before we even start that as the paddock is rested from augustish last year.
I don't think the acre is big enough to track/be worthwhile tracking, plus they would have a lot of grass to start with. I am considering if I can make use of the bits that are rough and bare from winter to create one in the 3 acres, and leave the centre and the summer paddock for hay. The thing is it would have to only go part the way round at the mo (due to too much grass again!) and I would be a bit concerned about arguments when it was extended given that it would be narrower (I suppose so long as extended enough we might be able to get away with that).
we only have two, with an established 7 year hierarchy and excellent electric fence respect but I just wondered how other people got on, and if it is worth it if your track isn't circular. Essentially Frank is otherwise going to end up in a starvation paddock for part of the time when I would prefer him to be moving round a bit more.
