Seeking tips for little things you've implemented to raise the standard of living for the animals on you farm.

In our first year of homesteading together nostr:nprofile1qqs8v3q3nvvwc444kfmeurgrtem392wkd8dlhedjch693j6kftake9gpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qj82pr and I worked on setting up good systems for managing the basic needs of our animals and now are looking to boost their overall welfare.

We've got cattle, goats, chickens and ducks and are keen to hear about any other animals you enjoy keeping too.

Silvopasture to add dapple shade for livestock. Herbals for natural remedies.

I'm looking at a lot more trees going in over the next few years. The paddocks we have with shade are beautiful and the cattle seem very content there.

If you're planting trees prepare for 80-90% losses after 3+ years. Still worth it to do.

Yeah the roos are brutal on any small trees here and we have very dry summers so that will hit them hard too. I'm targeting natives to get the best fit we can.
