Borrowed a manure spreader to fertilize winter pasture
Each winter we setup a long term paddock for the sheep on the weakest pasture. In the past, we have planted turnips in the paddock as winter feed to extend the grazing season.
This year we are spreading horse manure on the pasture thanks to our neighbor lending us his tractor and spreader. The pasture is about acre and it took about 5 loads to get full coverage.
Instead of plowing or discing the field to get it ready for planting the winter seed mix, we are trying to over graze the pasture with our rams and horses. Then we will broadcast seed, hopefully in the rain.
