Yeah but not with dairy cows, reckon for dairy cows it's a disaster, they drop back a long way in milk and never pick up again. Ok for bulling heifers or suckler cows but they need to be kept moving or they'll just eat the re-growth.

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

We would usually do it to tidy up under the electric fence if nothing else!
