[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 799069, member: 8973"] I have a PH program done by a professional service. I do not buy commercial fertilizer for the established pastures. The family owns 1 off site layer house and I use that poultry manure. The amount of poultry manure is only adequate to fertilize 20 percent of the pastures per year. Therefore the pastures get fertilized only once per 5 years. The cattle rotate their manure over the pastures as they graze. The herd is a closed one and all animals are co-mingled. The paddocks are rotated daily. Years previously I was one a 3 day rotation but the farm would only support about 75% of what it will on the daily rotation. I feed no grain or supplemental protein. The cattle are on grass and legumes only throughout their life at my place. I know how to grow grass provided I can get water.
