Well this kind of feedback makes us VERY happy!

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!! 😀😀

@niels_corfield @FarmersGuardian @BalbirnieFarm @NFFNUK @SoilAssocScot Will consider it - thanks.

@GGraziers @FarmersGuardian @BalbirnieFarm @NFFNUK @SoilAssocScot Would def consider free choice minerals, IMHO, even with the trees

We are very excited to be featured in @FarmersGuardian sharing our approach to agroforestry along with @BalbirnieFarm #CowsInTrees #NatureFriendlyFarming #NatureMeansBusiness

@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?

@GGraziers @NFFNUK @FarmersGuardian @BalbirnieFarm @SoilAssocScot I find this really interesting- looks like you’re both doing a terrific job with the grazing. We employ same principles of rolling meadow hay into less diverse areas - it works a treat! Wondering how you get on with landlords shooting cover woods do you manage to graze these?

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

Good morning! Just sitting on the hill with #TheWeeMob Queen Betty doing her grazing thing.... @ggraziers

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. grampiangraziers.co.uk/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. @SoilAssocScot

You can watch my session from the @FarmingReal NRFC 2020 - Implementing agroforestry with native cattle as part of a healthy agroecosystem here: youtu.be/j28E2n4qOic 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! @SoilAssocScot

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. Day 1 - intro to us and #TheWeeMob #PasturePower @SoilAssocScot

Setting up water from a burn to a tank to a mobile trough feed.... #grazierlife #ConservationAgriculture

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. @GGraziers #farm24

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!

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

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

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. #GoNative #MobGrazing
