[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 758135, member: 8973"] Jeanne The cattle get moved every 24 hours. This is a Spring time/seasonal situation in that I cannot get the cattle and forage balanced. Yes, they are wasting grass in that all was not eaten. I will mow and reintroduce the grazed waste as nutrient to the soil and will suppress what weeds that may exist. I have very few weeds so that does not pose much of a problem at this time. I am feeding the 92 mature head and roughly 53 calves at various weights on 6/10ths of an acre per day. Currently I have ~141 acres in this stage of growth. I am building root growth and their reserves so that I have options of grazing or using the plants to reseed or for stockpiling and future forage growth/survival. The mature cattle are getting more protein now than they need and I permit the calves to graze ahead of the herd. For emergency use I have stored 16 days worth of feed, no more. I have to make the grazing function regardless of the weather or buy feed or depopulate. [/QUOTE]
