Goats in the sunn hemp

9/3/2018

2 Comments

 
Experimenting with Sunn Hemp this year. It grew 30" in 30 days. I put a two string electric fence around it to keep them out while it grew. When I let them in I moved the two wires to the top of the post so they can go under. We cut a path, installed another fence to split it up and rotational graze it. When I move them to the other section I can move the two strands lower on the post in this field and move the other field's wires to the top of the posts. It has some corn in it also. The goats are loving it.

What were the seeding rates, what was in the mix, and what was the fertilizer rates per acre. I am looking at doing this for my goats next Summer.

Sunn Hemp does not require much if any fertilizer on fertile soil. I put about 30lbs of seed per acre. The goats eat it down fast. I found it is best to let them in to eat an hour or two a day in lieu of grazing it full time.
