[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5759944, member: 63856"] I wish they were all like her: gave me twins as a yearling, now has 3 lambs totalling 114 kg @100 days. She's a bit under 80kgs. I want to test accelerated lambing to see if I up the production, or simply up the workload!! But in my (our) type of operation where you haven't got all day to fluff around - consolidation of your livestock is great leverage. The less mobs, less walking/driving between mobs, and the greater the herd impact and symbiosis between the stock and the plants and the soil. And then the plants improve, the soil improves, and the animals do much better! I think the key to grazing is as high a stock density as possible, as many moves as possible, and only take the tops of the plants as that is the best of it. [/QUOTE]
