[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 699955, member: 7509"] My cattle may rest near the water, actually probably more likely to rest in the shade of the trees. But when it comes to grazing time they circle the paddock more or less in a group. Maybe this is just because they are used to rotational grazing and figure they better get it while they can, but they do tend to graze together and move around. The grass near the water ends up at about the same height after grazing as most of the rest of the paddock. I believe there is something to the idea of "mob grazing". If you restrict them to a smaller area they tend to feel more immediacy to grazing. So if one moves the others figure she found some good grass and follow around the field like that. Jim [/QUOTE]
