[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 447577, member: 13"] Intensive grazing means you put enough cattle on a plot to graze all the grass one time. Then you move them to another plot to graze all the grass once. The cows will take the best bite from the best grass first. Then they'll go back to lesser attractive grasses and get that first bite. The trick is to get them out before they go back to the best grass and graze it down. You don't put them back into a grazed plot until all the grass has had enough time to regrow the leaf. The time it takes for grass to regrow will vary with the species, climate, rainfall, time of year. We have used it for years. I think intensive grazing works best on our native grass and we don't fertilize it. Our Bermuda is only good for about four months of grazing. The variety of grasses in the native pastures gives us grass for early grazing and we'll have standing dry grass there for winter grazing this year, too. There's lots of stuff on the net about Intensive Grazing. Spend a little time with Google. Or you local extension office may be some help to you. [/QUOTE]
