Animal shelter, wind and shade???

How does this work exactly? Do you fence off the area that they already grazed so they don't eat there again? Is there a central point in the field that has water that they can visit whenever or are you moving water daily as well?

Some people use a back fence. Some don’t. Once that many animals have thrashed that paddock they don’t have much desire to go back. I have a water truck. Sheep don’t need a pile of water so I would have it set up to move the truck when it needs refilling once a week.

Solar panels.

We had two 3 sided pole sheds and a lot of windbreak when we had cows, but that was mostly to block the NW winds.

We are not very hot and only a few days a yr. Cools off great in the evening.
Bush does give some relief in horsefly season.

In the winter spruce bluffs make the best windbreak for cows here. They have to be fenced out or they don't last more than a few yrs.
Feeder pens I stacked round bales on outside of fence on north side.

I did have some big square bale windbreaks on a few pastures but they never used them much.

Yeah that’s like here. But here it’s a wet heat compared to Regina or swift current. Obviously the animals in the prairie survive with no shade, why wouldn’t they here is suppose?
