For example, in the tux was so, even in the outer Zillertal, not only in Tux. Tux, this is a side valley in Mayrhofen so running out of reasons, and the westernmost of which is the Tux Valley, and everywhere there is the food stall being. This means that farmers not only have a shed where all the cattle are housed and the hay, but that is decentralized. I have known farmers who had up to twelve food stalls. A food stall is a building that has a first floor, the basement is made of square boulders. The course has more warm, because even the animals, the cows and calves, a part of the year in these food stalls. Are you one or two months of the year at Hofstall. The rest of the time they move from one food stall to another, or in summer on the pasture is in itself a very good principle. Because these areas are very steep, since the transport of the hay from the bottom of the most standing on the hillside farms is often difficult. And the application of fertilizer is also another difficult on the steep slopes. And since you have not brought there the hay to the cattle but the cattle to hay. They had one small area where you have stored the hay in the feed barn. And the fertilizer they also had in place, and then deploy him straight away. The disadvantage of course, was that the farmer every day at least twice had to go the way from the farm to feed barn. And the food stalls were sometimes pretty far away. In winter, when snow was much, of course, they had to go, because in the morning had the cattle to be milked and fed. These were drawbacks. But otherwise, with the delivery of hay and manure, it was again a good thing.
