[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1606927, member: 17304"] Sometimes I have wondered if it its worth it....going out every day and moving the cattle to a new pasture. But after that heatwave/drought we went thru in August and September I realized this is very much worth it. All the conventional grazers I know were singing the blues because their pastures were burnt up because they were just picked right down to the ground. That works ok as long as you get a little rain every week, but when the water shuts off it gets serious real quik. I took some soil temperature readings with a laser gun thermometer during that time and the ground that was uncovered and bare was about 110 to 120 degrees.....soil that was covered with a few inches of grass was in the 80's,,,big difference. Interestingly, a dried cow pattie read 120 on top and underneath it was only in the 70 's.....gotta keep that soil covered especially in the summer! [/QUOTE]
