Having an intensive cattle operation as part of our diversified and circular economy operation has been in the planning for the last couple of years and was finally implemented in May 2023. We chose Herefords as our core breeding herd. Late last year, we met with AGT Cover Crops & Forages to discuss the use of excess pig slurry for the fertigation of cover crops. Through proper management and separation, the pig slurry provided a perfect nutrient-rich, organic fertilizer. By using our available fields and continuously fertilising with pig manure, we are able to implement a high-density mobile grazing system, supplemented with forage sorghum silage, Smutsvinger hay, and irrigated winter grains. We believe that although this is a small start and pilot program, it could lead to something big and sustainable, aligned with our vision and strategic goals.
