[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 258216, member: 13"] I'm a big believer in intensive grazing. The Noble Foundation ([url=http://www.noble.org]http://www.noble.org[/url] ) has done a lot of work on it. You might just do an internet search and find research reports to discuss with your dad. The number of paddocks and rest time will depend on how much rain you get and the type of forage. Normally (ha!), we give our native grass paddocks 30-60 days rest. But they'll not regrow in 90 or 100 days if we don't get some rain. There is a learning curve. You have to learn about your grass and your cows. You have to spend some time walking around and evaluating forage growth and grazing habits of your herd. But, IMO, it will be worth it in the longer run. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
