Turning Cattle Out to Pasture - Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a conversation James and Chad have about things to consider when preparing to send cattle out to pasture. They address questions like when is there enough grass, how to deal with wet ground conditions, and digestive upsets to be aware of. Next week will be Part Two of this discussion, and covers some of the logistical and practical considerations of cattle turnout.
