[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 6107500, member: 441"] Not sure it's possible to be off topic on a holistic thread :) so a question for you guys already treading the path. I lamb and calve outdoors. I have tended to keep both single scanned sheep, and cows, very tight during calving/ lambing. I see 2 advantages to this in reducing calving/ lambing issues from being over fat, but also as a means of conserving grass when it's often in short supply in April. However I have seen this really abuses the pasture when done for several weeks. I posted in the cover crop thread that I intend to use it as a tool to try sowing a cover crop without spraying off, but that is 1 little field. How do others manage if they want to keep stock tight, either to conserve grass or to keep stock from getting over fat? [/QUOTE]
