[QUOTE="dcara, post: 82535, member: 473"] If the grass is staying in the high quality/nutritional Phase I and Phase II for longer periods of time, and hence there is less bulk, it would seem to make sense that the cows are getting more nutrition for a given consumption of forage, which is what I think dun said. As I understand it, keeping the nutritional value of forage high is one of the sought after attirbutes of controlled grazing. Although I know most folks on this board are well familiar with these principles, here's a link to a paper discussing the subject with regard to forage nutrition.
