Cattle
Dynamic Grazing
The pastures are rotationally grazed, the cattle grazing one paddock for 3-6 days depending on the season. Over tall or grazed pastures are topped to spread the cow pats and remove seeding heads. This process ensures plants re-invigorate their root system and the leaf system constantly throughout the season. The distributed cow pats prevent the build up of stale uncomposted pats and facilitate the more even manuring of plants.
Breading Aims
