Because we practice planned regenerative grazing on our farm we are moving cows, sheep, and chickens to fresh pasture nearly every day!

Each animal has its own unique characteristics behaviors. For instance, the sheep tend to form a tight herd and give a little excited jump just as they go through the gate. The chickens flap their wings in excitement and the cattle well when they get really excited they do little happy charges and jump.

Yep you read that right. The cows have some curious habits when they get really excited. 

I took a video of me moving the cows just the other day and they didn't disappoint!

In fact at one point I had to make sure that one of them wasn't going to accidentally run into me ( I should add it has never happened as they are in incredible control of themselves even during their happy dances haha. 


Unfortunately I got a phone call right as we got to the gate to go into the fresh pasture and it cut off my video....

But the cows arrived to their fresh pasture and were quite thrilled!

The cows are handy too as they will readily follow us across several fields if necessary to reach our final destination - just as long as we keep calling them that is. 

Haha some find it quite amusing what we trained our cows to come to. I hope you enjoyed hearing our top secret cow call in the video :)

{Watch} Onto Fresh Pasture

As part of our regenerative grazing plan we are continually moving the cows, sheep, chickens...... onto fresh pasture. Some people imagine this would be quite the roundup to be constantly moving all of those animals. While it does take time, the animals also learn very very quickly that when we call it means fresh pasture is just ahead and they sure get excited about that. Often just a few calls and the cattle or sheep will just follow us into the fresh sward of pasture.  One of my favorite parts of moving the cattle is just how excited they get. They are massive creatures and yet they jump and throw their heads around in excitement just like their young calves haha.

Sounds Of The Farm - The Laying Hens

Sounds Of The Farm - The Laying Hens

One thing I love to do on the farm on sunny afternoons (when the chores are done and there is time to reflect a little) is to just go out and sit in the field with the animals. Listening to their unique sounds and quirky ways combined with the fresh air, gentle breeze and soft sunshine is some excellent relaxation at the end of a long day. I had the opportunity to do this with the hens the other day and I thought I would record it and share it with you. I think I will do a bit of a series on the different "sounds of the farm" and beginning with the hens. "Cluck, cluck" doesn't quite do justice to the sounds they make out on pasture. What do you think?
