Only half a mixture by Gabe Brown's standardsI went into town tonight and made up a seed mix (long story short).
It's got 10kg of oats, as a canopy
Bareno pasture brome
Atom prairie grass
Timothy
Cocksfoot
Chico chicory
Radish
And lots of red + white clover,
34kg/ha so far but might put another kg of red clover in on top when I put it in the bin.
Be interesting to see how that goes, got 14mm today so I will rip into it over the weekend, hopefully.
Meant to be warm tomorrow and rain the next day.

The vet came to do preg checks. I didn’t think they’d all be bred but they are.I have noticed that my success rate in A.I. breeding is best around the equinoxes. Is this a coincidence or is it true? Any comments?
I meant solstices.( june and december)
Thar's true.Only half a mixture by Gabe Brown's standards
Proper hurricane!
That's proper, that is!
That's our eventual goal, hence mob consolidation was our first focus, it saves both time and grass.That's proper, that is!
Brilliant. That's the stuff.I have been googling and found the linkies for those that are interested (or need some bed time reading ):

Another report by the same group of authors which casts doubt on the methods used in the first report:
