Today I arranged 7 sheep Shetlands ? nature's child's choice of bread.
3 supposedly in lamb 3 last years lambs and one castrated male( give me a day and he's going straight in to the freezer).
I have 3 1/2 acres split into two fields how often should I rotate them between the two fields. Everyone I have spoken to have had there own ideas just wondering what the average would be.

If you can arrange to have them wormed before you bring them onto your land you will do yourself a lot of favours.
I can only imagine that your grass quality wont be terrific until about May/June so havnt a clue how often you'll have to rotate them.
