Tall Grass Grazing: watch different farms and projects try out mob grazing on their land

In this short film, ‘Tall Grass Grazing’, watch various farms and projects around Scotland trial mob grazing on their land.

Featuring Mossgiel Farm in Ayrshire, Balcaskie Estate in Fife, Lynbreck Croft in Grantown on Spey and The Sailean Project in Lismore - along with experts Rob Havard and Tom Chapman and members of the UK's only mob grazing field lab – see how mob grazing works in a variety of situations and settings.

Great explaination. You need to educate BBC News as they continue to blame meat production for CO2 and climate change, not understanding holistic planning and regenerative agriculture allow for meat production with climate benefit.

This really shows a different picture than meat "factories". So sustainable and fascinating. Great video, keep up with the good work😊

Mossgeil milk is absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant Informative film for those of us wanting to get started with mob grazing. Thanks Clem! xx

great video clemmy -Also it gives Nutrient dense food !

[colmanlong]

Great video, what breeds would you recommend or does it matter.

Before fences and the mob death of buffalo, I suppose nature was full on mob grazing for themselves. haha

Just about to start as a career change first time farmer. From what I’ve experienced on a garde scale This will definitely work.. I believe it’s really all about soil biotic life and doing what you can to support it Look after the soil and the soil will look after your plants we need A clever scientist to come up with a way of measuring nutrient density and composition in plants and we should use this as a measure of quality rather than the traditional weather measure of how much the crops way.(Using gravity as a way of assessing quality always seemed a ridiculous way of assessing yield for me)

Would like to replicate that idea here in Uganda!!

Have there been any studies comparing energy budgets between grain reared/finished cattle and this style of regenerative mob grazing system? It seems to me as a layman (I am a gardener in the South UK although I did study and practice forestry in Wales many years ago) that a one off (annual) grain crop; that has to be tilled, sown, fertilised, weed and pest controlled, harvested, dried and transported, maybe a tad more energy intensive than turning out your stock onto an already established pasture with a variety of vegetation to keep the animals interested and nourished (apologies if that sounds simplistic). Notwithstanding the environmental benefits of water holding capacity (reduction of instances of flash flooding further down the line?), soil erosion reduction, robust biodiversity, as opposed to introducing top predators into a landscape and then wondering where the rest of the nature has gone (I may be a little cynical about certain ‘conservation’ measures and organisations). It is very difficult to put an economic value on these environmental services that are the byproduct of these regenerative mob grazing systems, but when we have to fund flood and anti erosion measures, years and miles down the line, it may be worth a consideration from the treasury.
I have a keen interest in how my food is reared, how the countryside is stewarded moving forward and how holistic and sensitive farming methods can really benefit everyone. So hats off to you guys in the farming industry for all you do in all weathers. I would love to hear from any folks employing this practice in the Dorset area; as we move out of the EU, there is an opportunity to develop our own agricultural/rural/forestry policy on a more intimate and grass root level (pun intended).

So feeding tall grass with seed heads is good? I wasn't sure if he meant that it can be fed all of the time or just some of the time.
