[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 757285, member: 7509"] Jeanne, if you look at the third picture you can see the grass in the foreground - this is a spot I missed with the drill. There is lots of grass under the other red clover but for some reason it was just way behind the clover this year. It is catching up on other paddocks. I would love to move them at 1 to 3 days like you and agman but I can't so I manage as best I can on 7 days. Where the clover really comes in handy is in July. That will be about the third time thru this paddock. I let them rest about 30 days between grazings. I don't let them graze unless it is about 8-10" tall then graze it down to 4" or 3" min so there is some leaf area to regrow. They will eat it down to a golf green if you keep them on it long enough but that's tough on the grass over time, unless you have bermuda like the golf courses do! Thank you for the kind words. I am especially pleased with how the calf crop turned out this year and how they are growing. Jim [/QUOTE]
