Mineral for the cows. At Buxton and Polyface they give them sea salt, kelp, and a nutritional balancer
Great pictures Jon. Thank you for posting them!
ReplyDeleteWow! LOVED those pics- esp the differences of pastures from 'yesterday and today'. :)
ReplyDeleteJon,
ReplyDeleteI think it should be spelled Blhound. Short for Black Hole in the Ground. I don't think there is an official spelling so it might as well be Blhound.
The grass in the "today's pasture" was waist deep and thick. We were giving 250 cows about 1 1/2 acres for a day and the grass would be mowed down to lawn height. Its exciting seeing what a herd like this can do when they are disciplined with electric fence (modern predator pressure) to act like a herd.
