With my sheep for three years now. It is hard and I want more permanent fencing and easier to move electric fencing. But the difference even my beginning efforts have made are phenomenal. I am a big believer in this approach and the USDA NRCS is helping a lot of us with tech support and encouragement and help with fencing costs. The improvement in the soil is profound. The increase in plant diversity and water holding capacity is worth the effort.
