Any recommendations for water troughs / designs that suit being dragged around most days for mob grazing?
Top filling as I have mains water so need the ‘air gap’ dictated by regulations.
any photos and advice and experiences appreciated!
Curious as to how people manage their suckler herds…
Does anyone leave their stock bull in with cows, but remove heifer calfs to stop them being jumped on? Or instead separate the bull?
Does anyone leave their bull in all year round and just cull the cows that calve late?
Feel free to explain...
Should you clear the dead wood / fallen trees off the ground? (Using a wood chipper?)
Goals are to promote growth of younger trees, grass and general health of existing trees.
* Also several dead trees still standing! *
Nitrogen (granules) are on order at quite-a-bit over £200 / tonne. 🥴
I’m very curious to hear the collective opinions on using fertiliser. Pros, cons? Short / long term effects? Ultimately... how sustainable is it for the climate, the farmer, the accounts etc.
For context of my situation...
I’m looking to create outdoor cattle pen(s). Have used 20ft concrete panels previously as walling, but I’m wondering if there’s other options that are just as effective. ( and cheaper?!!). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
