SKYLINES
PASTURE MANAGEMENT

 

 

Two of the ewes take their lambs out to graze
in "the draw," one of the SkyLines early summer pastures.

Portable electric fencing has made it possible to manage SkyLines pastures to achieve these three production goals without relying on chemicals:

  • Continuously improve the quality of forage
  • Maximize the amount of available forage
  • Control internal parasites

The sheep spend a few days to a few weeks in each pasture, eating everything in it, grass and weeds alike. They are then moved to a fresh pasture, allowing the former one to rest, regrow, and cleanse itself of any sheep parasites or infective organisms.


SkyLines' three pasture areas and how they're managed

Rotational grazing with portable electric fencing (coming soon)
