[QUOTE="flyingS, post: 708100, member: 13383"] Jim, Looks great. What a testimony for rotational grazing. I'd like to see someone try to argue with those pictures. Grass is in excellent shape, cows maybe even better. How long have you been using your system and what kind of planning system do you use? I use the Savory System. We can not run as many cows out here in the Sandhills per acre and our grass is not as vigorous. My average pasture size is between 400 and 500 acres and we run 600 to 700 cows in a herd. I would have to agree with the statement you made about root reserve. All plants draw from their root reserve when they can not absorb nutrients. Otherwise when they are grazed completely off they would die, leaving you a bare pasture. By increasing herd density, decreasing grazing periods and increasing rest periods the range condition went from poor-fair to good-excellent in two years. [/QUOTE]
