Pasture rotation

The boy's side of the pasture was looking a little worse for wear so we began a pasture rotation program. We moved all the males to a larger pasture area behind and next to the ladies area.

This worked for about a day.

Perilli our main stud decided that now that he could clearly see the female herd, they all belonged to him. He put the run on the other males which defeats the purpose of the pasture rotation. We moved Perilli and a "buddy" back to the original area, leaving the rest of the herd (the young guys) by the girls.

They still hang out along the fence looking wistfully at the ladies but at least all is calm.
