More Cows On, Lets tidy up some Hill Country!

We get in some grazing cows to help our own cows improve our pasture quality.
Have you ever wondered why farms have two different stock types?
Sheep and Beef
The idea is to have all of our country with only a small amount of long old feed on it for the cows over calving. The rest of the feed needs to be fresh and palatable for ewes and lambs in the spring. The fresher the feed the higher energy it has and less time it takes to digest. This will result in higher growth rates in our lambs.
I hope you enjoy the video, Thanks for watching!

Not too bad looking are they!

and on a further note. i love the trick of the bungy accross the gate to let the ewes run thru and hold back the cattle....for the win

[@HillCountryFarmer]

Yip sometimes it’s easier than trying to hold back tame or hungry cattle! But maybe I’m lazy!

Gidday! Looks bloody cold there too. Have you ever been to the Mystery Creek field day, I went years ago nothing like it is today

[@HillCountryFarmer]

It was we’ve had some great weather since luckily! Yes I actually managed to go up on Thursday it was pretty cool to see all the exhibits! Right I hear that it was slightly smaller this year compared.

[@colinbannerman892]

Hi mate. How much do you get paid in NZ for grazing/ agistment cows?? It’s about a dollar a day in Aus.

[@HillCountryFarmer]

This year we’re getting $5 / week. That’s not bad! If I was weight gaining them I’d expect $10-15/week.
