[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1715643, member: 1715"] We have two main grazing units, and have struggled at times to balance the cow herd and the two bull batteries and our labor. Since we calve on grass in May - - we have been sorting in early spring to haul heavy breds and then end up calving at two locations. Would like to increase grazing density and lengthen the grazing season - - so thinking about calving out at home and then moving the entire cow herd for a shortened grazing season. The home location would get one summer hay cutting in July and then be stockpiled. This would reduce labor, increase grazing density, and increase trampling. So roughly the home farm would be grazed May, October, November, perhaps December, and the second farm would be grazed June, July, August, September. Do you see any downside other than increased trucking? [/QUOTE]
