[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6676136, member: 63856"] I saved the girls a wee corner off a paddock, it was very poor there last year so I kept the big mob off it this time to help keep it covered and cool. All the calves were hiding down the bottom by the springs from me there, man, can they scoot now![ATTACH type="full"]848015[/ATTACH] They're filling out nicely, as are their mums; I only got those two photos before my phone went flat , sadly, because the eldest two calves will come right up for a rub on the chin Slowly we're getting these old paddocks to grow again, we went over them fairly quickly in an attempt to leave a bit behind - but still give it a good stomping. The chart said put them in, so we did.[ATTACH type="full"]848027[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]848029[/ATTACH] Right behind them (24 hours) it's really mashed down, but the next day it seems to just perk up, so I think they are beginning to rebuild their strength after me whopping off all that silage and then cooking in the summer heat. I think raising the SD helps with the herd's ability to non-selectively graze, it's hard to get it right but we're getting it less wrong than before [/QUOTE]
