All subdivision of paddocks is done using white polywire rolled up on extension cord reels. If you have young calves to train, the wider polvtape works much better than the polywire. Most of our paddocks are in a rectangular shape maximum width of 400-500 feet. This keeps distance walked and time spent moving fences to a minimum. It is also one of the most cost-effective commodities out there.
Grazing improves cow health.
In addition, walking wears the hooves regularly, which reduces the need for hoof trimming. As a result, leg and foot problems occur less often in pastured cattle. Grass farming has been the most interesting and lifestyle improving change that we ever made on this farm and we have made quite a few. Our feed bill naturally dropped. Repairs and some other expenses have dropped also.
