Lots has been written about the benefits of rotational grazing.
One of the benefits that I have not heard mentioned is the entertainment value of watching the herd enter some new good grass in the next pasture rotation!
I moved the cattle (herefords) in early evening tonight as I try to do and it was hilarious seeing 1200 lb cows prancing/jumping around like calves when they saw the new grass! And the calves take off and run around together like a bunch of kids at a family reunion.
They stuffed themselves for awhile then come over to see me where I was fixing some fence. It was fun - until one of them decided she wanted to lick my coffee cup in the Ranger's holder! I'm all for having fun - but don't mess with my coffee cup!
A beautiful evening.
