[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 757315, member: 8973"] SRBeef I am constantly planting something that I perceive has potential to provide forage. I have both Arrowleaf and Alice white clovers interspersed. What is in the pic is one or the other. These are much more productive for me than the common ladino clovers that are so prevalent in the area I live. I want to comment regarding the frequent moves of the herd. I understand your situation and I would do the same under the circumstances. My observations are that the cattle and the pastures both benefit from the frequent moves. Yes, it may be a bit more troublesome but should your circumstance change I suggest you try it. The cattle seem to anticipate the moves and are much more manageable. The paddocks recover rapidly. Rotational grazing in itself is good and beneficial but the frequent moves just enhances the method. I grow feeder calves and until I switched from conventions production I was just "getting by". This afternoon I was speaking with a young man that was considering how to get into the cattle business and I had to emphasize for him to consider rotational grazing if he intended to be profitable. If he elects to go that route I plan on mentoring him provided he wants assistance. Why anyone that is in the cattle business for profit wants to continue the conventional method is beyond me. On a different note, I am interested in the grasses you are growing, variety and duration of growth mostly. Thanks [/QUOTE]
