Bale Grazing as an effective livestock outwintering strategy

Farming for Carbon & Nature (FCN) farmer knowledge exchange session on 25th April 2024 with Silas Hedley-Lawrence, Farm Manager at FAI Farm Oxford.
Silas has eight years of experience managing farms regeneratively, with an emphasis on organic year-round grazing systems. With ties to New Zealand through his family dairy farm and kiwi fruit orchards, he maintains an emphasis on lean, profitable farming systems that also deliver on increasing biodiversity and soil health gains.
As a member of the Pasture for Life-led, four year, Innovative Farmers field lab on bale grazing Silas will share his insights into this outwintering strategy, including costs, benefits, impacts and lessons learned after several years of testing the approach.
