There is beter ways

[@samkom33]

im sure for lazy people its a better way to improve the ground they remove fodder-gras from. hehe
but a normal hard working farmer that dont have too much land, would feed in a cow barn, use straw for bedding...
then collect the used straw-manure-urine. eighter in a manure pit-ore tank ore even make l little biogas factory and
spread the end product on hes fields

[@stewpidaso26]

another thing they dont mention is that your cattle are less likely to get sick with bale grazing as opposed to keeping them locked up in a barn with their manure and urine. Cows need sun light too. why work yourself to death? it doesnt make sense to have to take time, money, and energy to clean out stalls when you can reduce costs and time by letting the cows work for you.

[@hollisrutherford4853]

Wrong, the little farmer does not own a manure spreader or its mechanical failures

[@muletrack]

Nope, you let the cattle spread their own manure. The system you describe wastes virtually all the urine, which contains a lot of nitrogen.

@@muletrack yes in a perfect wourld cow should be outside year around.. but at lest in north of norway where i grew up the animals prefer to be inside when its 10-20 feet snow and freezing outside 6-8 months a year.
