Hi Joe,
Im pleased that they like it but don't see a flaw :) If its possible for any animal to overgraze an area before it can replenish its self, then the area is too small to sustain them.
-Theresa (Whose torts will have to inherit the entire acre when this happens. Thank god our house is finally out of probate and finally ours!)

: The Russian tort mix is great....but there is a flaw. I let it grow to about 8" tall before opening that section of the pen to the torts.
: Its only taken 4 weeks for it to be mowed down to a neat "lawn"
: Make arrangements to isolate the fedding area once in a while so it can grow back. And allow about 6 weeks to let it grow enough that when they mow it down....it will come back
