Adding a New Allyway

“You pace off the next post while I drive these posts in.”

This morning, we added a new alleyway to ensure all summer paddocks can open into access to shade. Intensive Regenerative Agriculture cell grazing requires a lot of fencing up front, but once the infrastructure is in place, the soil, the cattle, and the soul are all nourished by the high quality and quantity of grass produced.

Cattle graze in each cell for 2-5 days, depending on the time of year and herd density. They will not return to that cell for approximately 20 days. Those resting cells regenerate lush, green, protein filled grass for happy, healthy, cows and calves. By using this intensive cell grazing, we are able to graze twice as many animals on the same acreage footprint, mitigate drought and climate change, eradicate parasites, and have healthier cows and calves. It allows us to visually inspect all cows and calves on a nearly daily basis, and when the cows spot us they vocally let us know they are ready to move to a new cell, and come running when a new paddock gate is opened.
