[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6332720, member: 63856"] My own feeling is to bump and bodge your way through for a while, rather than get out the chequebook - we have a nicely subdivided farmlet, but it's mostly "wrong for what I want to do next". Unsure who said so, may have been Gabe Brown? But someone smart said something along those lines as well. Permanent fencing/troughs seldom get put in the right place, and so they can be pretty expensive "mistakes" even if well planned. Generally in a grazing setup it's these areas and permanent gateways that end up damaged, especially on a wetter farm, as the fertility tends to rapidly head towards these spots - so imagine the potential if your whole farm can be "a stock camp" for a minute. The why - generally the animals are heading through the gateway quickly and all in a bunch, up under those trees where they spend the night - these landscape features are fantastic clues as to what can be achieved on your land and soil: big healthy plants, all by themself! The next step is your attempt at recreating this next level of plant expression, over wider and wider areas . [/QUOTE]
