The autumn grazing programme is starting to get underway with a few Highland cattle and some Exmoor ponies out on site already.
We set up an electric fence in the corner of a field the other day in order to train the sheep which will making the pilgrimage to graze on Holy island late this autumn. It is important that they learn to respect an electric fence before they go otherwise they could get out and wander wherever they like including back across the causeway. May be we should teach them to read tide tables as well!

Flexigraze specialises in grazing nature reserves and important grasslands thoughout North East England. This is called 'conservation grazing' which means we graze these areas for the benefit of the nature that exists there as well as for the livestock. By using different species and breeds of livestock we can manage the grasslands in the most appropriate manner to improve and maintain their bio-diversity value.
