Simple Trick That Saves Us HOURS of Mowing!!!

🐄 Welcome to Episode 1 of our Fencing Forward series!

In this video, we’re showing you how we use temporary fencing with polywire to let our dairy cows manage the grass and weeds along our fence lines. This trick not only cuts down on how much we have to mow, but it also helps:
✅ Feed our cows more fresh grass
✅ Fertilize those fence-line areas
✅ Build better soil health
✅ And give us back hours of time every month

We let them graze these narrow perimeter strips for about a week, depending on growth, then follow behind them with a mower to clean up what they didn’t touch—like the areas around cow patties. It’s simple, efficient, and surprisingly effective!

This works great for our dairy cows—but wouldn’t be ideal for our beef cattle, and we’ll explain why.
