[QUOTE="regolith, post: 928369, member: 9267"] another thirty newly dry cows joining the herd: [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/new_dry_cows_join_the_group.jpg[/img] had words with the farm owner but he is still convinced that his free draining soils are suitable for a herd walking twice daily from pasture to shed. And forbids the very idea of putting durable material on the tracks... even though the stone could be dug from his own farm.

It's only a matter of time till a human or bovine is seriously injured on that. [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/pull_out.jpg[/img] regrowth of annual ryegrass after grazing the oats - the dark strip was grazed yesterday and the day before, the light green regrowth the day before that.
