- Farmer Discovery competitionFround this in my camera roll, long grass grazed in calf fleckvieh heifers, 14 days between the first and second clip (28th of June and 12th of July) last break didn’t get grazed quite as close as ideal due to a TB test. Love how quickly we can see the regrowth even in the less and pretty residuals, the trampled grass definitely helped keep in what little heat we had this summer in the soil. From memory we got 3 grazings from this field without chemical N or slurry then used a little when the rotation began to speed up as growth started to tail off so more than paid for the time to move fences
