[QUOTE="ArmyDoc, post: 447911, member: 6832"] Here's an excellent book: Grassfed Cattle by Julieu Ruechel [url=http://www.amazon.com/Grass-Fed-Cattle-Julius-Ruechel/dp/1580176054/ref=sr_1_1/105-7128659-6283645?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192008423&sr=1-1]http://www.amazon.com/Grass-Fed-Cattle- ... 423&sr=1-1[/url] Essentially, you want to try to rotate your sub-pastures such that you arrive back to the starting one 5-6 weeks after leaving it depending on how fast the grass is growing. How often you move the cattle depends on how the size of your paddocks, the amount of grass / number of cattle, and how many you have in rotation. Some people rotate twice a day, some every 2-3 days. The goal, as mentioned before, is to get the animals to feel the need to eat all the forage not just the best tasting stuff, then to move them on to fresh pastures and to allow the pasture they are leaving to recover before bringing them back.
