[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 933955, member: 3739"] JS, I think that's one of the other reasons he unrolls the hay like that in the early spring. Of course it sets back the grass, but he does it so that it adds more organic matter, or litter and increase water-capacity of the land. Regolith, I remember agman talking about that before. What's interesting between the fixed and not-fixed mob-grazing systems is that the number of days cattle are set to graze a particular paddock at. I think Agman utilizes the unfixed paddocks because he wants to rotate his animals once a day, regardless of forage quality and quantity. Kenyon, on the other hand, utilizes fixed paddocks because he can judge the time cattle are in a particular cell before moving them on again. Two different concepts, with similar results and albeit different utilizations. TT, not a problem, it was worth the time to write it out. I can't imagine it either, but seeing as he had to hire someone to work for him and that even two people would always have a full day with mob-grazing or intensive-cell grazing (at least that's what he calls it) stocker heifers for several months of the year. Funny thing is, according to one of his articles posted a couple years ago he grazed 1200 head and only had about 60 miles of fencing to check. This year is double the herd size, around 20 more miles of fencing to work with, and more land he's renting to custom graze all those animals. I couldn't find that article I was wondering about or thought I had read, but I realize I had posted something similar about deep-massaging pastures a couple years ago that is very similar to what he was practicing this spring.
