If you farm sheep intensively, you may want as many as 100 paddocks. This means the sheep can be moved daily onto a fresh paddock using a three month rotation during slow or zero growth periods. When there are lambs and ewes during spring, two or more flocks can be grazed on a faster rotation.

On dairy farms 30–50 paddocks are usually enough. Cattle are easy to strip graze with only one wire when longer rotations are necessary during slow growth periods

NO, Thats the answer to you electric fence question. The electric fence does not need to be a complete loop to shock. The electric fence charger sends out current to the electric fence wire about once a second to the wire. it runs down the wire to no where, The animal touches the wire, current flows into the animal, and back in the soil to the ground rods systems. then back to the electric fence charger and completes the circuit. The animal gets a shock and stays away from the fence.
