[QUOTE="Humble Village Farmer, post: 7798228, member: 142541"] Update on our cattle behaviour, in case anyone's interested After keeping them in for a week at the end of May, which was pretty wet and cold anyway, we turned them into a paddock with electric and a hedge round and just one internal electric fence. After a week or so in there, we started mobbing them up again, but in more secure hedged and fenced fields. They are now back in the big arable herbal ley field which was where it all started to go wrong. We took an unplanned cut of silage off there instead of grazing, but it's now got 17 weeks' regrowth. I sent them round the opposite direction to avoid the spot where they got spooked to start with. So far, fingers crossed and I'm enjoying letting them through of a morning, which is different to how I was feeling last time we were up there. There's enough grass on there till the end of the month and a few days nearer the yard, so we'll save on straw and mucking out at this rate. [/QUOTE]
