First Swath Grazing won't work in Maine, too much moisture.
I'm very interested in winter grazing. Maybe using some Winter Annuals to finish on. The thing slowing me down is water sources that won't freeze without the need of electricity. Right now I'm limited to my cattle being in range of water pressurized from our well. There are other fields that could be used but need other options. I've seen a type of pasture nose pump that drains it self below the frost line. I'd like to hear or preferably see (pics) what others are using for their winter water.
