Mob Grazing
We're planning on trying some ultra-high density grazing this summer on irrigated pasture - moving the sheep every 12 hours (or less). Does anyone have any experience with this? What kind of stubble height should we be looking for? I'm expecting that we'll keep consumption high (and keep our average daily gains correspondingly high), but I'm curious about whether we should anticipate any problems.

Okay, i will try to get the comment thing going. We should be looking at a stubble height around 4-6 inches. Four inches would be lowest we would want to go. I think some of that will have to be looking at schedules to see how big a paddock area. Some days, they might need enough area for a 24 hour graze if no one is available to move them.
