Great Grazing Platform

So the pictures below taken last week, are from a Grazing Platform in South Cumbria , the tracks and fence network have made a real difference to grass quality and yield – on what are challenging soils !!!

This Week

The Dry spell continues – as grass growth falls 39% on 2 weeks ago – Rain would be great – check out the graph on the page above.- the need to assess forage stocks now is now to ensure you have a plan of attack.

Checked out some excellent additions to grazing systems this week – new tracks and newly established Grazing set up for Robots all in the Ribble Valley

Reseeding has come to a halt as the dry conditions continue – be patient wait for rain on the Horizon before drilling is my advice at present.
