[QUOTE="Roan, post: 750693, member: 13707"] Hi, have a question--So I have read and heard to rotate pastures when cows eat til 1/2 leaf height. Well it seems it doesn't matter at our place, the cows will eat grass down to ground no matter how ofter we change pastures. They naturally reach down to ground and graze sooo! The grass can be tall or shorter and they still eat it to the ground so how does that work? Its orchard and timothy, clover mix. It does grow back each time we rotate but takes longer. Yes it grows quicker when we fertilize but at todays prices, its going to be manuer this year. So does anyone really pull the cows off the field when grass is still tall or what exactly do you do? Just looking for ideas or suggestions. Is there a good average height you put the cow on the grass? We waited last year and they ate it but also layed on it and it folded over and then it was wasted. Just curious what everyone else does. [/QUOTE]
