Putting cattle on pasture

[pottamus]

Could anyone with experience tell me what the plus and negative sides would be to popping a couple of Highland cattle onto my horse paddock to graze it off a bit please? Obviously they would be separated by electric fencing from my horse. Thanks

Are you borrowing or buying?

There are no negatives.

And they have absolutely no respect for electric fencing. Unless it's wired up to the mains.

Borrowing..

 

[jrp204]

Go for it! I asked because if you were buying you would have to tb test but if you're borrowing its not your problem.

Great they cross graze the worms. No negatives

Just be warned that cattle have absolutely no respect for fencing.

There's a reason farmers use much hated barbed wire! And even that doesn't always stop 'em!
