We setup a field for rotational grazing. 25 acres split into 6.

Won't bother doing it again after we take fences down in that field.

I have rotationaly grazed for 30 odd years but on fortnightly shifts. Works for me.

Reduced fert to just spring to kick it off.

That's what we would normally do. I don't count it as rotational grazing but I guess if you think about it, it is.

We do this on some land too. Just keep moving them every 4 weeks or so. Some of the other blocks are too big to do it. There’s definitely more grass and stock do better that way.
Not sure that some land would be much use without some fertiliser. Sometimes just a downward spiral

It will be interesting to see what the new CF price is this week and when it will be for.

Why wont you do it again?

How does that work then?

 

[Chae1]

Why wont you do it again?

Don't feel we are getting increased amount of cattle per acre by moving them every few days. Plus it is a lot of work setting up water troughs and fences.

Might have been worth having feeding cattle on it. They might have performed better by getting fresh grass every few days. Just had a batch of cows and calves on it each year.

This block was al little fields with knackered walls and fences so we patched them all back up think there’s 10 fields. As grass gets in front through summer we just take one out and cut it.

It’s not a new thing remember a farmer telling me one day that the ewes and lambs grazing shouldn’t hear the church bells twice in the same field

Let’s hope they’re not practicing bell ringing on a Tuesday and Thursday night too
