The cutting of the screws is performed several times a year, in autumn, winter and spring, and what we have to do during autumn is called fruitful cuts. As the name suggests, this cut aims to balance the growth of cattle and guarantee a rich harvest the following year.

The cutting process occurs in the period in which the screw begins to prepare for «lethargy», entering into vegetative rest; That is, when his leaves fell. This period is generally marked by the fall of the frost, usually in November.
