More on the transition

To date we have built another 55 acres of pasture to accommodate our herd of 100 milking cows. This gives us 1 acre per cow...roughly. Our aim is to be able to offer 1.25 acres per cow next year.


I love the way you can see them zig zag along the lane home...

To make grazing a lifestyle choice for our herd we are starting from the ground up - calves are no longer living in huts...they are on grass too.This is called the Milk Bar...as many as 6 calves can drink from it at once... I have 2 more on the way. It took more time to get them onto the electric fence than this feeder. The Jersey a little quicker than the Holsteins i might add. I love my Job!
