The autumn construction project was to build permanent corrals around the central water tanks with gates going to 4 separate pastures for the rotational grazing. An old theory was to have a pen around the tank with only enough room for cows to come in to drink and then need to leave to go back to grazing. The thought being that they would not lounge in the area of the tank destroying the grass. We needed a small entry gate rather than having a wide opening as we have had in the temporary openings to the whole pasture since building the cross fences several years ago. Now we wait to see if the theory works.
