    • Abstract:
      Right from calving, Jeremy and Anna Hart are getting the cows in for three milkings in two days and in keeping with doing things a bit differently, they're also using alternative fertilisers on their West Coast farm. From calving, the cows get meal in the shed and that continues throughout the season, adding up to 0.5t/cow/year. Apart from benefiting the cows, it also saves pasture damage as Jeremy says fuller cows don't move around so much in the paddock on those cold, rainy days. Jeremy says the cows are more settled in a smaller herd so cause less damage to the ground. [Extracted from the article]
