A few years back I saw it for the first time in this area,a modern dairy farm down the road used this system on some high ground they had acquired ,not sure what crop they had growing,kale,rape or stubble turnips,but bales were placed across the field so when the electric fence was moved on the cattle had access to new silage bales.
Like Slim mentions a way to build fertility on dryish ground,similar to the old method of folding sheep on an arable crop,
The old with a new twist,here they would be up to their bellies in muck if they were outwintered,yet the farm nextdoor all the cattle are still out. |
