Sheep Tractor- Organized Mob Grazing

Показать описание

This is our first attempt in getting sheep in a controlled high density mob grazing system we call the sheep tractor. We tried the mesh electric fence but found for us it was difficult to keep the sheep out of the net and things moving smoothly. We are on a journey experimenting with ways to incorporate biomimicry into our farm system. We are here in Zambia in South Central Africa and grow wheat, soybeans, sorghum and bananas commercially.

I am interested in pasture-fed chickens. I was thinking of walking sheep on pasture before my chickens. I came across this video of yours while I was thinking about this. I watched your video and entered your channel. I liked your channel very much and subscribed immediately. I was curious about the length and width of this mobile sheep pen and the height of the side walls, could you please write to me?

Love the idea! Will be getting one built for my sheep. What was your cost to build?

It’s so good for the sol to mob graze. I too want to see how to build a sheep tractor!

Excellent system. Can you tell me what impact the chook tractor that follows has on sheep manure worm survival

Hi Craig. With your grass there, say in winter, would you be able to estimate how many moves you make before coming back to the same patch?

Please do more videos and give more details on this sheep and goat tractor.

Thank you 😭
I was worried about labour costs for hiring a shepherd but now my mom can do this alone herself moving the tractor

That's a brilliant solution Craig! I'd love to build a similarly sized tractor for the pasture system I'm starting. Would you be willing to share the plans to your build? If you were selling them in pdf format I'd be buying a copy for sure :)

Question.

Until I can afford something nice like this do you think if I get some IBC Tote Cages and turn them upside down where the floor is on the top as a shade cover and the bottom is open to the ground and grass and if I metal zip tie them together that that would work as a make shift one of these for just a couple of sheep for the time being?
