Cattle
The cattle continue to graze the fields in and around Northmoor with many now being moved on to fresh pasture. Once the cattle have been moved to a new field the old grass field is cut with a topper. This cuts off any old dead grass and encourages fresh nutritious grass to start regrowing ready for the cattle to move back there later in the year.

Cattle
The cattle are now all out and grazing the fields in and around Northmoor. They have really enjoyed having some sun on their backs over the past few days and look fantastic with their deep red coats gleaming as they wander through the lush green grass. We have three lots of cows and calves in different fields with a bull running with each group. Our new bull, Stonegrove Rocket has arrived and is settling in well. We had a slight worry with Jethro, one of our other bulls, who went lame shortly before he was due to be put out with the cows. Thankfully after a few days rest in the shed he was fully fit again.
