My dream is to further develop this land into a bovine food forest. cell grazing where each cell is bordered with hedgerows and shelter belts of trees that supplement the cattles diet. Willows, apples, mulberry, poplar, sugergum, carob, grapes, etc. just off the top of my head I got lost somewhere with a few hundred different species of trees that are edible for cattle, those ones all grow well in my climate. Along with local natives for the birds and marsupials. We have a lot of birds that only fly short distances between trees and sugar gliders reptiles that all need groups of trees close to each other to move between so they can safely get to water and find more food. It can all coexist with the cattle. Chickens would be used for cleaning up the fallen fruit, certain things like apples would be strategically placed on contours where their fruit would be used to build soil fertility rather than robbing it like a traditional orchard. Silage would be made for winter each year from some of the deciduous trees, in winter grow oats for fodder where I grow the corn peanuts beans and squash in summer. This winter I actually cut back heaps on feed with how many pumpkins I grew. I'd like to stop buying feed all together the pasture isn't up to it in winter. the microclimates from trees alone helps heaps, normal winter paddock is on the edge of the forest but we haven't replaced the fences since the bushfires burnt them out. Which brings up another thing, certain trees, like those I mentioned earlier will actually slow down a bushfire. It takes so much heat to burn apple trees that a wall of them, provided you don't let them dry out, can actually block or divert a raging fire.
