[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1131717, member: 4362"] I follow what you are saying and agree to a point. What I often see are people applying fertilizer to their pastures and then the pasture grows faster than the cattle can eat it then the forage goes backwards unless you mow which costs money. When I see deep grass with age on it I can't help but think it wasteful. I try and strike a balance with the goal being to have them rotated around to fresh pastures with younger grass on it and never allow it to get overgrown. If I need to push the calves some I'll use a creep gate to let the calves slip into the fields I've fertilized for haying. [/QUOTE]
