[QUOTE="waihou, post: 899550, member: 6511"] Thanks OKJ, I agree about how easy it is to turn a good animal into rubbish with a photo taken at the wrong angle! Our pasture is just a mixture of old grasses and weeds like plantain and yarrow plus we did drill some new ryegrass, cocksfoot and chickory into it during a drought about 8 years ago. Of course there are also a lot of pesky weeds like Californian thistle, buttercup, mayweed and ragwort which shouldn't be there-but if you spray for the bad ones you also damage the good ones-and the clover! We don't fatten stock on anything but the pasture which is there, no crops or supplements apart from hay or silage in winter. Our rising 2 year olds are in danger of getting too fat if we don't put the heifers in calf at 14 months. I guess we are lucky we have such a mild climate and grass grows nearly all year round, except it slows down in July/August and we sometimes get a drought in Feb/March-but no worries this year!
