Summary in the original language of the document
In the video, Tim and Louise Downes discuss milk performance and markets (including current milk prices), their breeding strategy, experiences with outdoor calf feeding, their way of pasture management and how they utilize agroforestry on their farm by integrating trees and hedges into pasture to ensure the best quality of food for their cows, to grow more biomass and to increase the size of the farm without buying more farmland.
