[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 630114, member: 9043"] I change padlocks every day and some times a few times a day. Right now I have my cows split into 3 groups. I made a trailer that holds there minerals, salt, and water that I drag into the next padlock and the cows follow. The downfalls of mob grazing that I have run into on my land were compaction issues and a layer of rich top soil that needs help to get worked into the clay, but it did not hard pan on me. The compaction issues go away after my soil improved. All my pastures were a gritty red clay soil that the old owners and used up most of the nurturance. The pluses are the fast composting layer left when the cows get moved. They pass about 80% of the nurturance back out that they eat. They do not know what a weed is. There manure is pre spread and not under some trees or at there water. Calm cows that don’t care if you walk right up to them and most will let you pet them. You right up with the cows daily so you notice when something is different or wrong. [/QUOTE]
