[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 756004, member: 8973"] I have used my herd to "skin" trashy areas of brush and weeds. It did not work very well for me. Tramping trash to the ground but not killing it was a problem as the weeds just made seeds while lying on the ground. Manuring edible or desirable plants creating waste was another problem. My acreage has been improved to where most of it is now in good forage production. Putting too many cattle on a limited area creates soil compaction and is destructive to the root system of the established forages. Most mob grazers that I have read about do not mob graze their own pastures. Instead they lease land. They have only a small investment involved and are out to get as much weight gain as possible baring the consequences or the land is so arid that it is only suitable for a single grazing for many months and they are out to maximize what can be gleaned and do not expect to return anytime soon. As the landowner, the return from mob grazing is too low for the land investment IMO. Abundant cheap land for lease is nonexistent here. [/QUOTE]
