[QUOTE="dun, post: 447585, member: 34"] If the fertility is in the soil there is very little additional fertilization required, except maybe some nitrogen in the fall to stock pile some grass. If the cows move every couple of days and the paddocks are sized right they'll keep returning the magority of the fertility to the soil. Rather then permanent divisions you might want to consider temporary fencing. When the grass is growing really fast like in the spring you move them more frequently then when the growth slows down. Too large of a paddock and they won;t grass is effectively, too small and they will need to be grazed for shorter periods. Theoretically the optimum time frame is 3 days per paddock. The rule of thumb is take half and leave half. [/QUOTE]
