Visited yesterday as part of site checks. Curious to see condition of livestock and garage levels as have not been on site for a while.
Honestly have to say the cattle look fantastic. They are much bigger than cattle on other, larger, sites which are also receiving supplement feed blocks. That to me says an awful lot about the forage quality as it must be giving them what they need.
All three were ripping into the short turf and old grass tussocks as I watched them, stopping only to see if I had some nuts. Disappointingly I did not so grazing began again with Ernest. Ther is no mineral lick out on site as the cattle do not appear to need one and these are administered on a needs only basis.
The winter grazing is so far proving a great success and if it continues like this will become part of the regular grazing regime.
