[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16895"] The principle behind MIG is #1 you don't have to keep fertilizing, the cows process it and put it back on the paddock it came from. #2the paddock size is only large enough that half of the lnegth of the grass is removed in about three days then they are moved. More then 3 days and they start eating the regrowth, and by grazing have off each time the grass stays more vegetive and delays going to seed. This keeps the nutritional level higher longer. There is a lot more to MIG but those are the basic principles and reasons. dun > The way I understand this question > is you are doing things right in > number of acres,per head.What > intensive is smaller acres that > are cleaned up no poop left then > mowed or toped, then fertilzer > applied and then watered. > Supposedly you can put more head > in a smaller lot and get the same > results.It has its pros and cons > doing it this way.
