[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1564233, member: 17304"] Yes I guess you could call it that. I've tried every approach.... i used to think high intensity mob grazing was the way to go. Just let everything grow up and do several moves a day in order get 2 or 300,000 lbs of cattle per acre / day. I did that a year or two but didn't see much grass improvement.....I think studies and research trials have now shown that calf weaning weights won't be as good ..... i found that to be so. I still do mob grazing of a sort, but give the cattle bigger slices per day. If you watch how a cow likes to graze.....they like to go into an area and just graze the top off and keep moving. I'll give them(about 70 cows plus calves) 3 to 5 acres per day letting them just eat the tops....that way it grows back really fast. With this rainy weather you could probably rotate thru the whole farm every 21 days. Most people try to do 30 to 45 day rotations depending on growing conditions [/QUOTE]
