[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1238126, member: 19171"] Thanks for all the kind comments. It has been pretty amazing to see how the grass has changed and improved since we started doing some more intense rotational grazing. We used to only have 3 rotations that were not equal in size. The cows would spend 4 weeks on one field, 2-3 weeks on another and 1 week on the third. Now we are moving them at least every 7 days. Unfortunately I live 2 hours from the farm, so it took some work to convince my dad that the portable fencing was the way to go. This past winter, our ability to strip graze stockpiled fescue and basically cut hay costs in half while maintaining flesh instead of losing it really opened his eyes I think. He has bought in now and we will likely start moving cattle every 2-3 days this spring and summer. [/QUOTE]
