A couple weeks late, but some updates in our conversion process! The cows got new bling in November. A grant from Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association helped us to buy some Gallagher E-Shepherd collars. While it would have shown a great return during the summer, we got them, and the pasture ready for cattle in November. Still a bonus for winter and bale grazing, so I'm not complaining. A HUGE thanks to Mike Elliott for all his help with everything (he even spies on the cattle to make sure they're behaving). Mike and Dad also helped us to lay water lines out to the pasture and Mike and I installed our frost free Ritchie bowl so that the cows had water before we get a freeze.
