Free grazing sign for year-round grazing available for download
If your cattle are kept outdoors all year round, they are also exposed to winter weather conditions. The pasture sign "Keep suckler cows outdoors in winter!?" allows you to provide passers-by with information about this animal-friendly form of husbandry.
An audio file allows interested parties to obtain information directly at the pasture. This can be played off easily using a QR code. In approx. 4 minutes, essential questions about outdoor winter husbandry are explained in a concise manner. For further information on the husbandry of suckler cows, another QR code leads to the website of the Focus Animal Welfare Network.
Recommendations
- Lamination is recommended to ensure the longevity of the printed pasture sign.
- If you would like a sturdy sign, ask a printer of your choice which material can be used as a base and order it there for a fee.
Further pasture signs on various topics related to cattle can be ordered for a fee from the German Cattle and Pig Association (Bundesverband Rind und Schwein e.V.).
