What a difference a couple of weeks of good food will make! The nervous, bawling calves from the first post have turned into calm, inquisitive, and quite a bit larger, calves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They came to see what I was doing at the fence when I stopped to take their picture. They were disappointed there was no food offered, but were happy to have their water refilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This afternoon Ruben and Alejandro will move them to new pastures. They’ve learned to respect the electric fences we use for rotational grazing and have adjusted well to the richer grass. We don’t quite have enough pasture in the Arbequina orchard yet to send them to the plantation so they will stay a bit longer in front. We’ve had more rain (and the related power outages) but not quite the warm spring weather needed to make the pasture grow quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotational grazing – where a group of animals is moved in a mob from one section of pasture to another – makes a visible mark on the pasture. This is the section of pasture they were on earlier last week: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The right side is the last section grazed. To the left is the section which has already started to regrow. The line between section isn’t as visible after more than a week as the pasture growth slows down enough that the difference isn’t as notable. Here’s the faint difference between the first and second sections they grazed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We use electric fencing for rotational grazing in the olive orchards as well but as the pasture there is already in strips between the rows of trees there isn’t a visible line between sections like there is in the open pasture here in front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terneras tranquilas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Qu\u00e9 diferencia hace algunas semanas y buena comida! Las terneras nerviosas y ruidosas de la noticia primera son tranquilas, curiosas, y bastante m\u00e1s grande, terneras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vinieron a ver lo que estaba haciendo cuando paro para sacar la foto. Estaban triste de que no les d\u00e9 comida, pero estaban feliz a tener un bebedero lleno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta tarde Ruben y Alejandro van a mudarlas a un potrero nuevo. Las terneras ya aprendieron a respetar las cercas el\u00e9ctricas que usamos para el pastoreo rotativo y est\u00e1n acostumbradas al pasto verde. No tenemos suficiente pradera en la plantaci\u00f3n de Arbequina todav\u00eda, entonces les quedan algunas semanas m\u00e1s en el frente. Recibimos m\u00e1s lluvia (y cortes de luz asociada con las tormentas) pero no el tiempo bueno de la primavera que es necesario a tener crecimiento r\u00e1pido del pasto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El pastoreo rotativo – cuando un grupo de animales est\u00e1 manejado en un grupo de una parte de pradera o pasto a un otro – deja una marca visible al pasto. Esta secci\u00f3n del potrero es donde estaban la semana pasada:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

La derecha es la \u00faltima parte comieron. A la izquierda es donde ya crece de nuevo el pasto. La l\u00ednea entre los dos no es tan visible despu\u00e9s de una semana. El crecimiento del pasto ralentiza y no es tan notable. Entre la primera y segunda secci\u00f3n donde fueron las terneras es mucho m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil ver la l\u00ednea: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Usamos la cerca el\u00e9ctrica en la plantaci\u00f3n de olivos tambi\u00e9n, pero como el pasto ya est\u00e1 en filas entre las filas de \u00e1rboles, no queda una l\u00ednea visible entre filas, ya comieron o no. No como est\u00e1 en estos potreros en frente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
