Was wondering what the delay was in building up stock numbers. Your message is consistent. Soil first everything else follows

[@Udderfarm]

As I only have approx. 40% of the UDDERFARM fenced. This is why I can't stock up plus I'm waiting to have my watering points installed. General Rule when contemplating Livestock:- Fence 1st, water 2nd, then livestock 3rd. If in any other order unfortunately you are setting yourself up for failure. Great question Swoop!

[@DomDaBomb77]

Good video. Thanks for the explanation! Pretty clear difference. Do you need to slash at a certain grass age? For example if you let it get too long would it suppress new growth?

[@DomDaBomb77]

Ah sounds like you answered my Q right after I posted this. So keep it in senescence as Joel Salatin says.

[@Udderfarm]

Hi Dominic, sounds like your all over it now mate. We appreciated your positive feedback and thanks for messaging once again.

1 inch of grass after 200ml of rain! I thought it was only us in the uk that spoke like that.

[@Udderfarm]

G’day rncharrison, thanks for popping in and taking the time to message us mate it’s greatly appreciated. I’ve never really thought about it until you just highlighted it! That is bizarre, though I think it’s because I grew up working with hardwood timber where all the dimensions were imperial, apart from the length, which was worked out in metric, that’s just ludicrous in itself? Though now that pine is predominately utilised in the building industry all dimensions and lengths are in metric. As for working with liquid imperial measurements such as pints, quarts, and gallons……ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!!?? Lol. Cheers for the chat mate hope you have a great day. Jason

I'd be curious to test the slasher against a roller/crimper to see how each builds up the organic matter. I think the roller/crimper would be easier in a way since there are fewer moving parts and it mimics what the cows do by simply pressing the plants down into the soil, breaking the stems and matting everything together. The slasher, though, is going to spread that organic matter and chop it into smaller pieces. You might lose some to the wind, but what stays will break down into dirt at a faster rate, I think.

[@Udderfarm]

G'day Three Rivers Forge I hope you are well mate. If your interested I just answered one of your questions during our last Q&A "Around The Fire" recordings which got posted on KZbin today. Hope you have a good one!

[@tireddad6541]

I suppose you could have looked into getting some one else's sheep or cattle at least for one rotation, better for your land improvement, better for them to get a stretch where their fields can rest?

[@Udderfarm]

"Tired Dad" your name worries me a little buddy!? Sounds like you could do with a well earn break and a little RnR yourself ? I would be definitely run my own cattle on there if I had fences up, as mentioned in the video about 30% of my property is currently unfenced. Waiting to take delivery of my Timeless Fence System product from the US. We appreciate you taking time to message, BTW take care of yourself mate and make sure you take that break! Cheers Jason & Nic

Rotate your grazing with INTENSIVE grazing. Keep your animals HIGHLY concentrated but always on the move, a different paddock every day. Mimic how large herds in Africa move. The key is to aim for about 60 days rest time for the grass. Cows eat the grass and trample everything down they don’t eat, urine and poo fertilizes everything, gives the grass a growing boost which they take advantage of. But the grass needs time to really bounce back.

[@Udderfarm]

Hi Jayne, firstly thanks for choosing to watch our video. If you haven't had the chance to watch anymore, then that is exactly what we are all about mate. Though we choose to move our livestock twice a day where we can. Your all over it mate, hope you have a grand week! Jason & Nic

[@tangsung-rl4fj]

Tang say you come Korea teach me how fat cattle yes

[@Udderfarm]

Hi Tang, firstly thanks for choosing to watch our video and for finding the time to message us. Honestly you really don’t need me there, as I’m certain if you follow and watch most of my videos you will soon pick up the basic concepts and principles of what I’m trying to do. The best advice I can give you is to focus on, and learn how to manage your pasture/grasses, therefore, not to overgraze it. And the best way to manage your pasture is by way of tools; conveniently you already have the required tools as you mentioned…..there called cows. Hope this steers you in the right direction. Hope you have a lovely day! Jason & Nic

Rubbish slashers for hobbie farmers

[@Udderfarm]

Hi Farren, I've had no issue to date fortunately and I have found it to be by far the best value for money from the multiple slashers I looked at; or purchased. A quality build in my eyes incorporating multiple additional features that others didn't offer in that price range. Great for evenly distributing carbon across the ground. Horses for courses, great general day to day slasher but far from suitable if you were contemplating hay production.
