[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 758109, member: 968"] Cattle look good. How many more hours were they on that paddock? Will you have to mow it? How many cow units do you run per acre? Looking at the pic, if you were getting ready to move them, looks like a lot of waste. That is the reason we try to never let it get that old before grazing. If I had that much forage left when I moved them, it would have to be mowed & cattle would not have eaten weeds if there were any. I think if you research it, rotational grazing does not eliminate the need for deworming. Areas vary, but I know in my area the eggs survive our summers & winters. So unless cattle are going on virgin land - forever - they do need deworming. Just a management practice - either you use the tool or you don't. Yes, most adult cows can thrive just fine without deworming. But they are a constant "supplier" of eggs for the young stock to load up on. My calves are dewormed twice during the summer months & again in the fall, and the cowherd is dewormed about 6 weeks after grazing starts & again in the fall. [/QUOTE]
