Pasturization questions

[Targaryen22]

So I've developed pasturization a bit ago for my first region (it doesn't have much in the way of farming but I like the challenge of trying to make it work) and I was wondering a few things.
1. I've fenced in both of my fields and I've got 15 sheep pastured in one of them (a couple of been put in the second field but its fine) I was wondering does the number of animals in the field increase the fertilization process any?
2. When i do want to replant the fields do I simply set a crop for one of the years and then will my shepards move the sheep off the fields (assuming I have a pasture built that can hold them all at this point)

I have had 10 sheep in a fallow field since it was harvested but did not see any improvement in fertility.

Next year, a neighboring field is fallow and 4 sheep were moved over. 6 are still stuck in the old field, now growing wheat.

It seems the logic of moving the sheep and fertility are both broken at this time.

From Wiki;

Fields:
- Space to grow Wheat, Barley, Flax, or Fallow.
- To employ peasants on the fields, you need to build a Farmhouse.
- Larger fields are more effective but also take longer to plow by hand.
- * All crops reduce Fertility, which can be combated by rotating crops or growing Fallow for a year. *
- Resources are collected in September.
- All fields can be given a priority, which determines the order they are worked on.
- * With the Fertilization development branch it can be upgraded with a fence for 5 Planks, which improves Fallow crop. *

Also,
The fertility rating of a field at game start is the maximum fertility level that field will ever have. It will decrease over time, however you can use strategies such as leaving a field Fallow for a season and general crop rotation or using the development option to allow farm animals to use fallow fields, to regenerate fertility rating back to its starting maximum.

yeah i kept my first regions two farms fallow for two years with 25 sheep pasteurizing in them and didn't notice any growth in fertility difference between the two fields. My villagers put all the sheep in one field together and didn't split any in the second field and both recovered at the same rate so it does seem so lol

Appreciate you posting this for others though all of this is stuff I have actively been doing in game with my farming :D (how i've been feeding my first poor fertility region for the last few years lol) but thank you anyways

My sheep also stayed in the original field, even after the next season, when it was growing wheat.

Note that making a sheep pasture early is a waste. The sheep farm and a fallow field can hold many sheep.
