Hi Everyone:
My neighbor is willing to let me put my meat birds in tractors in his pasture. He has 6 cows on the same pasture. I think I can rig an electric fence around the pens each day so that the cows don't get mixed up in the tractors but I'm not sure about mixing the two other than that.
I know that Salatin rotates cows first and then chickens but does the pasture need to rest between the two? The pasture is quite big, there's plenty of grass but I'm a little worried about having the meaties running around through fresh cow poop, rather than week or two week old droppings.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be most appreciated!
Thanks
