Grass Technology CEO's thoughts on ZERO GRAZING 

Glad to hear zero grazing is working well for you. We think it is a great system.

Yes, you can let them out on the field and zero graze together. There are more videos coming up with different systems farmers use, stay tuned.

Cow lying in the sh*t 3.33 💩

Well there is no denying that it there is some diesel and labour costs, BUT it also takes labour to bring cows, put cows back out. We have no fences, no lane ways, no stones in feet from walking cows up and down lanes, no water trough issues, less contractor charges, less meal used, less fertiliser AND we can graze any field no matter the location on farm. MANY benefits.

​@Grass Technology Ltd ok I agree this can be a great tool, in the USA we called them green choppers. But to say cutting and removing hay vs grazing needs less fertilizer is complete bullcrap, pardon the pun but grazing only removes a few lbs of P and K while removing hay crop removes hundreds of lbs of P&K. Then think about the manure and urine that are putting carbon and N into the soil vs removing carbon and buying N.

@Jon Stevens Maple Grove Farms Your dead right, many farmers are also delighted during the summer because it means no slurry to deal with. I know a fella with cows housed full time. His daily routine is, milk cows, zero graze, feed cows, take off zero grazer, put on slurry tank, spread slurry, take off tank, put zero grazer back on. His tractor is putting up 1000s of hours, his labour has increased hugely and he is hugely regretting buying a zero grazer. Before he was finished morning routine at 10 am, now he's not finished until 12. Pros and cons.

Zero grazer will cut grass in a lot worse conditions than you will actively graze cattle. Machine on a field that hasn’t been tramped does a lot less damage than animals. Zero grazer can get out earlier and stay out longer than animals grazing. We have done significant tests and cows just drink less water at the feeding trough. It takes a long length of bad weather to start to bring the DM down in the actual grass.

Stay tuned for more 😆

Most farmers we speak to have their own way of dealing with this, some will cut an extra load the day before. It's a lot easier on ground compared cows when the land is wet.

@@grasstechnology Wet grass is absolutly no problem. Used zerograssing since 2017 and the first i Denmark. Today 34 kg EKM on 17,5 kg DM i fresh grass and 5,2 kg concentrat.

Yes, it will work for beef too. There are more videos coming up with different systems farmers use, stay tuned to find out more.
