Learn how to setup a paddocks to get the most from your livestock herd. When your high density/mob grazing the goal is to create a competitive eating environment, what one head my not eat another will.
In this video, I will explain how to determine the paddock size for your herd, regardless the number of head you have. I will also explain why mob grazing works so well if done correctly. The most common problem people make when they try high density grazing is making the paddocks too big. They second problem is they think if they experiment with making smaller paddocks the cattle will starve. You have to get pasted that fear and be willing to experiment and make modification as needed.
Thanks for watching!
I'm using copper for grounding rods and now I've got a problem with oxidation. How do I solve it?
The oxidation is caused by mixing metals - copper with galvanized fencing in this case. When those two metals meet, oxidation will occur. Replace your copper rods with galvanized metal rods. You'll insure good conductivity and maximize the power delivered by your fence's energizer.
Each day while the cattle are out on pasture they are moved to a new paddock of grass. Polywire electric fence, a fence remote control, step-in posts, and handy reels make this job fairly simple!
