Rotational Grazing
It's up! All of our high tensile wire and the dividing fences. We are moving our beef cattle from paddock to paddock and hoping to extend our grazing season by a month. We have eight paddocks and they graze them for about four days each. We don't get back to a paddock for 24-36 days. I still have a couple of water lines to bury and one more strand of electric to put up, a few gates, but the important parts are done. My honey came home two weeks ago and put in the whole watering system! He's awesome.
These are my son's cattle and he's the one in charge of feeding them, moving them and keeping records on them. He took out a youth loan through the USDA and hopes to continue to build his herd. He has three replacement heifers born this year and three steers to sell. We'll see how he does making hay this year. ;o)
