Subject: Sheep grazing winter rye/oats/tillage radishes

NW Iowa-Lyon

We'll spent a couple of hours yesterday fencing off 20 acres of oats stubble field that we drilled winter rye and tillage radishes into and got some volunteer oats that also came up. Then this morning kicked 94 head if ewes and 3 rams out in this nice lush green stuff. How long will this 20 acres last me? The mixture is about 12-24" tall. Also have a couple of my helpers. They both did not last very long. The pup is a new addition to the family. The wife got this little Aussie for me to help with the sheep and cattle. She said that I am starting to get fat and old and need some help and I'm ONLY 32. How soon could I start training Bella (Aussie) to help? The three year old already is learning how to work the sheep.
Reason for edit added a couple of more pictures.
