I still don't understand what "weed wiping" is.

Have a watch of Logic's video, that should explain - and show - it for you.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I am into the second winter of strip grazing a wet rushy field, with back fence, and the treading of the plants has really thinned them out already.  I hope to get some summer grazing on the field next year too as stock levels have increased.

Assume this is with cattle.

Equines. Two mules, a native pony and a warmblood horse with heavy feet.
