Well this kind of feedback makes us VERY happy!

[Howemill @howemill]

We did our first @GGraziers local deliveries on Thursday and have just had this amazing feedback!

Overjoyed to be feeding our community and to get such a positive response really is so so brilliant!! 😀😀

@GhyllBankFarm @NFFNUK @FarmersGuardian @BalbirnieFarm @SoilAssocScot Thanks Jenny!

We only graze one area that is also a very small shoot and we just work around that. Not something we’ve had to really worry about up to now, but may be better for spring and summer grazing?

[GrampianGraziers @GGraziers]

Grazing some hill ground at the moment - the aim is animal impact to create habitat and increase plant diversity.

Good morning!

Our @GGraziers Pasture and Woodland Beef Box orders are flying in!

Make sure you get in touch to avoid missing out on this incredible white galloway beef.

#PasturePower Day 3 - today we look at the impact on the sward when we are managing for nature.

Regardless of pasture type, ley skills when #MobGrazing are developing an eye for when to move, learning to trust your judgement and adaptive decision making.

You can watch my session from the @FarmingReal NRFC 2020 - Implementing agroforestry with native cattle as part of a healthy agroecosystem here: https://t.co/gDyJMjuen8

Had a local farmer tell me he’s outwintering his heifers in the woods rather than housing now - result!

#PasturePower Day 2 - today we look at “the move”.

We like to keep things low key and low stress for #theweemob - allowing us to check them over as they walk past us.
Then it’s heads down (or up🌳) for some serious munching!

This week we are going to be sharing our approach to #MobGrazing - why we do it, how we do it and the benefits we are seeing.

Building relationships with our animals takes time, but helps us to creat a safe, calm and steady handling environment.

Looking glossy! 😎

New paddock, always observing, checking the sward...interesting to see how it’s come back as we manage for resilience in a changing climate.

Had a great visit to @vitalveg this morning to talk about #cowsintrees and got to check out their wonderful meadow - never seen plantain and yellow rattle like it!

[GrampianGraziers @GGraziers]

Grazing some beautiful spots at the moment - keeping rest times long to ensure max grass recovery and plenty of habitat for nature.

[GrampianGraziers @GGraziers]

Discussions being had now with landowners planning for restorative winter grazing - we use cattle to encourage plant diversity in woodlands and heath.

[GrampianGraziers @GGraziers]

Nice and steady moves - calm and quiet handling is important, knowing the cattle are happy and healthy - just hungry enough to move to the next paddock after a period of chewing the cud.
