[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14495"] The point in MIG (Management Intensive Grazing) is to put enough cows on a given area that they consume all the available forage and don't cherry pick only the good stuff. You rotate them off and allow the paddock to rest for a number of days, depending on the forage type, typically 21 to 30 days. These periods need to be increased as the forage growth slows. Grasses have a recommended height to start grazing and a minimum height to graze to. If you do a search using managment intensoive grazing you will get a bunch of hits that will explain it more thouroghly dunmovin farms > To me rotational grazing seems > like a good idea, because you can > put more cows on an area of land. > But, my question is how does it > work.
