[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 156650, member: 2905"] ks After reading the book, I'm sure you can see there are a number of advantages in using MIG. One of the best advantages is the cattle become more docile and easier to handle. They get used to seeing you and look forward to fresh grass. Just open the gate and step back. Great opportunity to get a close look at them or to count. A lane connecting paddocks to corrals makes bring in cattle for any situation an easy task. The best advice I was given when implementing MIG: "Plant nothing but fence posts for the first 3 years." No use in planting that miracle grass prior to being able to properly utilize what mother nature has provided. As with anything new, there is a significant learning curve. We all have made (and will continue to make) many mistakes in our pasture amnagement. Fortunately mother nature is fairly forgiving. When you inadvertantly overgraze, a little longer recovery period will usually fix the situation. As long as you don't overgraze too many paddocks too often, a little R&R works wonders. Good luck and great grazing! Brock [/QUOTE]
