[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1504389, member: 968"] Everyone makes a big deal out of rotational grazing - measure this, measure that. I move the cattle when the field changes from that nice deep green to a pale green. To me, that means it's short enough. Let it rest, go to the next one. Early spring, it does not need to rest very long, but later it should rest maybe 30 days. Don't really measure or time anything, just use my eyes. As mentioned above, I start out maybe 1 day at a time in the paddocks, but when it gets growing good, I may split a field 3 times, trying to give them about 2-5 days per paddock. It's not rocket science, but you will get a "feel" for what they need. We do mow weeds and reject grass a couple of times thru the summer. I know some people use "mob" grazing - that has not been anything I have been interested in. [/QUOTE]
