[QUOTE="Sharpy, post: 7196670, member: 1478"] 1 or 2 cow milking bail winched to fresh site so they exit bail onto fresh grass? Or a stake driven in/ ring into boulder and chain the cow to it and hand milk/ portable milking machine? If your ground has been sheep only for eternity cattle will do well and will improve the grazing no end. A farm near here was sheep only for 10 or 15 years, got a new owner who in addition to the 600ish Blackies put 30 Highland cows on. 5 years later the farm was running an additional 200 ewes, all due to the cows (who were still there). Finally if you are feeding concentrates you are importing fertility, also probably trace elements from a different area no one knows about which your ground is probably short of. Edit. I will take some photos of where the cows water comes from here, no doubt it will look similar to bits of yours. [/QUOTE]
