We like to mob graze our herd of cows,alpacas and bird. What we've been finding after a one year break due to the bull, Pita,being a complete tool about keeping all humans out of his domain...is that they lost the comfort level that they had developed when we were moving them. I know that is completely normal for a bull but it did freak us out and mess with the process of mob grazing. We also found that not mob grazing was not good for us humans because we kind of lost contact with the herd. When we go and move the herd two to three times a day...we get to chat with them...check them out to see if they are healthy...check their poop to make sure that it is healthy...as the saying goes...healthy poop...healthy animal. Also when the herd is moved they are happy....they have something to look forward to and they all get excited when they see us coming. When we are getting the fence ready to move them to a new lane..the entire herd moos at us....Pita always screams in desperation...and all the others are sounding like..."Alright already...come on...come on...get going...are you done yet?...now?...done? Huh?......Come on ..we haven't eaten in like five minutes!"
Once they are moved they happily graze on red clover,dandelions,sheeps sorrel,daisies and a variety of other grasses and wild flowers.
Until next time.
