Reciprocal joy: the multiplier effect of shared happiness

Our sheep are moved to fresh pasture (or lambscaping duty!) each day. We're learning more about virtual fencing to allow for easier rotation, and are looking for experience from others. Has your small production used virtual fencing to enhance your AMP grazing? What do you think of it? Nofence seems to be the most widely used for sheep/goats, but are there other options that you recommend?

At BHF, we have 2 separate track systems. The one on the right is a bare ground track geared towards horses whose metabolic status limits their sugar intakes. The track on the left allows for strip grazing so those who are in training/older & metabolically stable can benefit from grazing. The 2 older mares (on the left) can't eat hay without quidding, so grazing is an ideal way for them to get forage.

Enjoying mornings like this on the track. Track systems allows metabolic horses opportunities to maximize exercise while controlling forage. Our natural track allows for terrain variation and comfort. If you look closely, you'll see this big guy lying just off the mud control mats- he prefers the dirt.

Good morning from the Track!

I'm not sure how the pulled down fly mask became a fashion statement, but I think that *somebody* might be playing "bite the face" again!

The horses love when we open up a fresh patch of grass for them, even if they're just grazing the edge of the outdoor arena.
