[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 480054, member: 7509"] Since cattle will not graze within a foot or so radius of a cow pie it is important to break them up and distribute the fertility. After a couple rains the grass grows especially well in these spots and cattle will graze more uniformly. I use a simple 3-point Wingfield harrow. In rotational grazing, when I move cattle to a new paddock I usually try to run over the paddock they just left with the harrow. Don't drive over the paddock if the ground is too wet. The compaction causes more problems than the harrowing solves. However if the ground is fit to drive on use a lighter tractor to harrow paddocks after grazing and it really evens out growth and removes the no-graze circles by the next time the cattle cycle in to that paddock. Here is a link to some article on the Wingfield website: [url=http://www.wingfields.com/pasturearticle.htm]http://www.wingfields.com/pasturearticle.htm[/url] Jim [/QUOTE]
