2+3 cows.. Does this mean 2 calves by the age of three? I am doing pretty much the same here, but no bought in heifers and any stressy heifers will not be bred.

We've just taken some land on with a clay pigeon shoot, the i/c Luings are on it now. I'm concerned about the lead shot, do others graze over shoots and if so any issues with lead poisoning?

Same here. Quite a premium on organic beef especially.

We're setting up lanes in most places, and would like to get the density up, so really need more moves per day, they're not dis- similar in price, so yes was wondering which would be best in our context.

Pensagro wire lifters or batt latch?

Do you go to a local firm?

No expense spared here! Should be on the bodge thread! I did wrap some insulation tape where the scale connects to the crate to try and cushion for those jumpy lambs!

So to get longer lasting stockpile, is it solely based on total grazing, etc regardless of grass species? Or does that style of management ( high density grazing, long recovery / rest) suit some fescues, cocksfoot and the like over ryegrasses, allowing more resilient root structure, which in...

This works ok

Well as previous post, the inbye land has really altered so I guess functioning better. I'm hoping over time more traditional grasses will become prevalent and hopefully won't dissappear quite so quick?

We're making use of the electric fence grants and putting laneways in on most of the inbye land and will look at using batt latch or pensagro lifters to get in multiple moves. The inbye land has really altered. Used to grow to 5 or 6 inch and go to seed. Now with this management last summer...

The land they're on is good dry ground, but is largely bracken and heather. I'm feeding them hay on the bracken. The stockpiled inbye land is again quite dry, especially if the cows are moved frequently, but grass has largely been used up and the land is now resting for spring. I'm working...

Happy cows

3131.5mm recorded in trough of bowland. 557mm recorded for December

Does Copernicus allow you to see satellite imagery over time? What does the NDVI tell you? I've had a quick look, Looks like it'll be good for recording land transformation over time!

Any pictures of it?

Is it too late for the Madigan squeeze? Google it. Worked on a calf here.

3 bitches ISDS registered 9weeks old. Have been chipped 1st jab and wormed. Both parents are well bred and both good working dogs. LANCS

Have been doing application, we've two parcels that they have incorrectly put as moorland, but infact are SDA. The land has all been registered correctly, and is shown as correct in the land use check. How best do I get this corrected, I assume email to rpa?
