Tips from old timers

摘要

The price we have to pay for the wonderful late summer rains we have recently experienced is the malady of seed contamination. The late Blake Hobson from Loch Dale, made the following suggestions to counteract the problem: 1. Place cattle in camps asearly as possible before you utilize them for grazing by goats. They will keep the grass as short as possible. 2. Leave a few cattle in the camp when first introducing your flock of goats. The remaining cattle will keep the grass short. 3. Make sure your camp fences are in good order. Goats creeping through into seed contaminated camps make all your hard work pointless.
