[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6517883, member: 63856"] We had a wee mob (20) of them on a dairy farm, just for tidying up gullies and wetlands and stuff, great wee buggers IME and absolutely wonderful beef. They wouldn't weigh much more than a kiwi x dairy heifer, but the complete opposite in every way - they ate rank fescue/cockfoot and all manner of weeds - and did really well on that. Cattle selected to eat manicured "lamb tucker" wouldn't survive on that diet, unless supplemented with minerals etc. Plus they could hide under the flax when the Environment Southland spotter planes went over :whistle:?
