We do not practice selective grazing in any form. This would include “adaptive grazing”

I love the patterns on your stripped brown and gold cow😁

[@grazing365]

Her hide really is pretty. The rest of her? It’s a face only a mother (or rancher) could love

@@grazing365 One of the benefits of not using barbed wire as fencing for your cattle is that the hides of your cows can fetch higher prices. The leather purchasers are looking for hides without scars. I'm on the market to get a cow hide for a rug and that stripped pattern really appeals to me.

Thanks for the info. I think i need to clip behind mine. They in no way are cleaning up enough before i have to move them.

[@Marilou-g5t]

Everyone's context is at least slightly different. That is why a prescriptive answer will cause problems sooner or later. You must know your variables and manage everything to the best advantage- health of soil, plants, animals, people, finances, ...

Facts!

[@ThrillbilliesFishing]

My question is what are you doing with them at night? Ive been working on moving daily however at night Ive been grinding them to a holding pen however the further away the harder to move them. Hope this question makes since

[@grazing365]

We never put them in a barn or corral. 365 days and nights on pasture

How do you handle water? Any videos on this?

[@Plan_it-Farm]

Could you lay out your business model? Are you selling stocker calves? Or are you selling starter herds? Or strictly selling for consumption as beef?

[@grazing365]

We are primarily a seed stock operation

What type and joule of charger are you using?

[@grazing365]

I’ve used them all. I started using solar chargers last year exclusively. Speedrite makes the best in my opinion. I’m using a couple 1 joule purchased from power flex

[@25wasswa]

@@grazing365 any video on how the set is with the solar system because based in Uganda with no power at my farm would like to see how that set up works. thanks

[@sharp1977]

How are you given them water?

[@grazing365]

There’s a lot water lane that goes through the heart of the pasture
