[QUOTE="BobTheSmallholder, post: 6584450, member: 80636"] Someone I know has a herd of about 20 native breeds (angus/shorthorn/Lincoln red?) that they would really like to keep out on pasture all winter this year and begin mob/rotational grazing with. They don't have a huge stockpile of grass but there is definitely a decent amount on the ground, utilising it would mean fencing off boundary strips and funny dips in the ground etc as that's where there is knee-waist high forage growing. I was talking about unrolling bales of hay to feed and rejuvenate pastures over the winter until they pointed out that all of their bales are silage... so can you just unroll bales of silage in the same way as you do hay? Does it work the same way? Failing that they do have a cool feeder wagon which is essentially a trailer with feed barriers around it so we could try moving that around a few times a day to keep the animal impact moving and avoid muddy spots... What do you think? [/QUOTE]
