DRIBBLE BAR ! COVERED IN MUCK THEN GRAZING? POSSIBLE? HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?

[@wolffhenry5751]

Before discovering Tom, I had no interest in farming. But now I get so excited when I see farms - "Look at that clamp!" or "That's a Case!" - and I absolutely lose it when I see a dribble bar!!! Anyone else turning into a farming nerd? 🤣

[@busterboy7505]

Yes I have learned so much more about farming, never give it a second thought, cows, grass, milk. And that was it, now, I know so much more, and now Toms farm is getting a upgrade, I can’t wait to see it all finished, and don’t forget the cow brush or brushes. Big thumbs up to TOM and the pemberton family, 👍👍👍.

I am hoping to become a cider farmer because of Tom I know its not cow farming but hey it's still a type of farming and where I hope to work also has animals to so, if that doesn't happen then I would love to own a farm thanks to TOM

Just a tip, we always put up a another electric fence when strip feeding so if they broke through the first one they didn't go so far.

[@HappyCamperGourmet]

Strip grazing like that is part of our normal practice for beef finishing on our farm in Australia. It gives you much more grass to work with (less waste). We use 6 Gallagher reels in rotation in about thirty 5 acre cells but over a field like that only around 3 or 4 pegs is needed if you have good power through it. Over time the cattle will get used to it and wont push anywhere near as much. Sometimes we do not even power it if we have an electrical short somewhere. To save time run a central electric fence line from the shed. You can get a cheaper energizer then and get more punch. Gallagher run the "I" series units that allow you to turn off the power anywhere on the line for fixes or running out the fence. Very handy. Its great fro me to see someone find something new to save them grass (money), especially if you have proven on your own farm for years. Good luck with it all and reach out if you need any other info. Cheers. Pete.

I saw your father today at Lytham classic car event, I just looked up and there he was I nearly just said o reet how's it going. Then I realised he wouldn't have a clue who the hell I was.

Tom I really enjoyed this video it was different but covered a lot. Thank you for taking the time to share this best always Rusty in OK

[@MagnumCamNZ]

Good old kiwi product is Gallagher but for standards or posts the PEL hot foots are great if got pushy cows, we hold 400 girls behind a wire with standards every 20yrd. Normally only need the hot foots with younger girls or when on crop break's. They soon learn with 4 to 7volts ticking away not to push. Have you tried back fencing aswell? Once they had quarter of a field put a fence behind them to get slurrey on and re growth not getting nibbled off? Great video as always Tom. Cheers n beer's from New Zealand 👍👍🍻🍻🚜🐄🐄🇳🇿

[@pozziemozzie5642]

I love a sneaky Sunday video... Looks like the dribble bar is doing exactly what you want and i hope you dont pick too much muck up with the second cut. Thanks for the video, thoroughly enjoyed it as usual and you have much nicer weather than us on the south coast.

[@robertmacleod4058]

Tom - do you know of Greg Judy? He is one of the premier graziers anywhere. That residue left helps the plants get started regrowing more quickly and the grass that gets beaten into the soil just feeds the microbes.

[@RachelM-Head]

The field looks great, yeah the cows could be on the field for a day or two longer, but I think your timing is perfect, you do t want them to take it down too short before you move them… I also agree that if you had used a slash plat you would be waiting longer before you got the same results.

If you grazed it a bit earlier and not as strong, then the residue would be greener and it would regrow quicker for the next time. Protein in the milk would also be better.

[@grassfeeding6073]

Tom, I'd agree that the other style of pigtails are better but just wanted to give a pro-tip. You won't want to put them on your wire and walk with them attached. The plastic coated style will get cut by the stainless steel wires in your poly twine. Find your spacing, then put your post on the wire. I was taught to just do the high spots and low spots as I go along the wire rather than base it on distance. Knuckle height with your arm at your side is about cow nose height. Poly braid will improve your results over twine as well. More visible and carries more power, much stronger. A catch paddock ahead of your actual paddock will save headaches....seems like any time I don't put up a catch fence they blow through and I've got a mess...

[@benjaminbauer4883]

I like the ploy braid for young stock as it’s more visible but for the extra cost it’s a bit over rated for cows

[@grassfeeding6073]

@@benjaminbauer4883 That's interesting. I'm not sure what the price difference is. I try to place a value on my time and that of any lost forage or crop if cattle fail to respect a fence. I can't justify saving a few dollars on the purchase of temp fence gear when it will last for years; but then I tend to graze a lot of annuals and do daily moves so I work with it a lot. Everyone has their own way.

[@mhawthorn0224]

If cows continue to go tru fence you might try using live pig tail posts, same principle on the insulator is nearer the base of the post, some cute cows realise that they can push over post without touching the fence, this eliminates that problem 🙂

[@inglis7086]

I think it's great that the cattle don't have to eat down hard - there is a bit of grass left behind but there is also muck from the dribble bar there giving the grass nutrients to get growing again and feeding the roots to get nice and deep

[@thomaswhelan1579]

If u don't eat leaf down enough the grass will turn into stem next time around, better grrase it down short so u will have good green leafy grass for next grazing, he should also back fence the cows to protect regrowth

[@Matthew-nc9vm]

Yeah as Thomas said, you need to graze it right down really otherwise the grass will mature meaning that the cows won't eat it as well and contains less nutrients. Also you want to stop the cows getting in the previously grazed fields since they need a rest and cows love young grass.
