This is day two of cover crop grazing this season. These are our “fats” (& a Jersey dry cow) over the hill at our neighbors. There are 12 different species of plants in this mix. The white flowers are buckwheat, & there are sunflowers just getting ready to bloom.
The second video is what it looks like after they’ve been there for 24 hours! That’s just what we want, everything eaten or trampled. That’s what we mean by regenerative—the plants feed the cows & build the soil at the same time as the cows fertilize and harvest the fields. It’s a beautiful thing & the cows love it!
