[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1840250, member: 16453"] Different side of the world but I graze a bush block 650 acres, successfully I think. It is pretty rugged and rough with large gum trees and a lot of smaller wattle and banksia and fallen timber. I put my dry cows in there after I wean the calves early March (start of our autumn) and they are in there until late June when they come home to calve. I will also put them in there with their calves over summer if things go belly up with the rain. I have been using this block for about 16 years now, initially leasing it then later buying it. I keep saying to myself it is getting better every year for grass and I am sure it is. I believe the improvement is due to the action of the cows hooves breaking up the old leaf litter that has accumulated over many years returning nutrient to the soil and making room for the grasses to grow, along with the fresh growth that occurs after being grazed.
