Pictures taken yesterday in the sunshine. I was closing the gate behind the cows and lent over the gate for a gaze and thin, on a lovely summer evening. First picture is cows grazing 4th round. 20 day rotation now.

The residual left after 4th round grazing. Topper out after 2nd grazing, grass had shot to steam after 18 days. Been a very good grass growing year after May csme in.

Picture of dry cows strip grazing a field skipped by the dairy cows. August calving.

Have 2nd cut aftermath available in a week. So autumn calvers just dry off into an older stemier grass field for strip grazing.
