After the presentation, I went down to get a closer look at the cattle, and I met long-time staff member at Twynham, Dan Smiley.

My role here is predominantly with regenerative ag side of things and also the maintenance and machinery.

Over the years, I worked in the garden here for a long time, but also did a bit with the cattle on the side.

And having seen the change from dealing with rickety old fences through the paddocks to now having this virtually infinite variety of grazing patterns you can have, work with the seasons, work with the different soils, working with different aspects on paddocks.

It just amazingly opens up the opportunities that you can take advantage of.

We've just got the cattle wandering up behind us are they a bit curious of us is that why they've come this close typically a bit nosy if you're out fixing a fence they'll be right behind you and you'll turn around and realize they're there all of a sudden and so what

What have you noticed in the short time that you've had here and what do you see as the possibilities?

I really haven't been observing what the cattle are doing with the halter system for long enough to be seeing real difference.
