A neighbor begged us to add sheep to our farm and we relented. He figured if we could keep goats within our fences how hard would sheep be?

Maybe sheep & goats is our new thing. It is good to keep your old livestock on its toes anyways. They are looking nervous... 😛

Why does your neighbor care if you have sheep?

He thinks my rotational grazing would go better with sheep and goats. He is probably right

Interesting, what's the main difference between the two as far as their effect on the pasture?

Goats eat top down. Sheep eat bottom up.

They just eat different stuff.

If I just had goats all the time then I would start to get a lot of the stuff they don't like because they would eat a lot of the stuff that they like.

Adding sheep, the sheep will eat a lot of the stuff that the goats don't really like and vice versa and we will end up with a more diverse field. Also quicker turnaround times when grazing.
