Moving cattle….

….our “grazing guru”, Jim Gerrish, has written an article about the best time of day to move cattle.  We didn’t realize there was much debate but, anyway, Jim recommends mornings.

As always, Jim “nails it” but we particularly enjoyed the picture he used to illustrate putting up temporary fencing on his ranch.

By coincidence the young man stringing the wire just arrived here at Thistle Hill.  Grandson Church Humphreys will be put to work tomorrow morning…moving our herd to new grass.
