[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 740106, member: 13410"] Yeah, CB, it's a pretty good trick to get them to do that, but we've got them to that point. When we strip graze stockpile in the winter, we usually run about 100 hd/acre/day. You can just about walk across the field stepping on cow pies all the way. In the summer we run about four cycles a year at 50 to 70 pairs/acre/day and at the end of the season it's pretty uniformly covered. In 28 years of fairly intensive management there have only been five occasions we used any N fertilizer. In MO we eventually limed everything, but here in Idaho the pH is naturally in the 7-8 range so no lime is needed. We put on a couple hundred lbs of P to the acre, but that should keep us in good shape for a number of years now. We don't make any hay anymore so we're not mining the pastures. [/QUOTE]
