How To Move Your Farm Animals

Taranaki Farm shows you how to move a herd of cows, a flock of laying hens, some sheep and a stowaway frog in only 20 minutes… and in the process, heal farmland and local community.

<strong>Autumn Rain & Keyline Earthworks</strong></p> <p align="left">Pairing <a href="https://www.permaculturenews.org/2009/09/16/keyline-plowing-with-compost-tea-application/">Keyline Design farm layout</a> to <a href="https://www.permaculturenews.org/2009/11/18/joel-salatin-and-the-expression-of-chickenness/">Polyface Farming methods</a> makes Taranaki Farm genuinely unique in the world of sustainable/regenerative agriculture. Now with ten interlinked keyline dams and catchment road, drains and irrigation features, Taranaki Farm continues its investment in keyline design as a strategy for dryland water management which supports direct marketed, salad bar beef, pigerator pork and pastured chicken and egg enterprises.</p> <p><span id="more-7125"></span></p><div class="g g-3"><div class="g-dyn a-34 c-1"><style> @media (min-width: 350px) { .infeed { height: 90px; margin:auto; } @media (min-width: 500px) { .infeed { height: 90px; margin:auto; } } @media (min-width: 800px) { .infeed { max-width:729px; margin:auto; height: 90px; } } </style> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle infeed" style="display:block;" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout="image-top" data-ad-layout-key="xxxxxxxx" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4709140704829756" data-ad-slot="5264186828"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div></div> <p>We recently completed an ambitious water harvesting earthworks project that saw the construction of four new dams and a couple of kilometres of catchment roads. </p> <p>Employing ‘Keyline Design’ principles developed by the late P.A. Yeomans, we devised a comprehensive layout for the front section of our farm that finalises the ‘mob stocked’<br /> grazing systems — all within the permanence of stable and useful water harvesting contour roads and ridge dams. The Autumn breaking rains have arrived and our earthworks have been put to the test….</p> <p align="center"> <iframe loading="lazy" width="520" height="382" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V_gNIfiaxDs </p> <p>
