[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1305435, member: 17304"] Stockpiling is what folks do when they are conventional grazers. They set aside a hayfield or any field and keep the cows off of it till Nov. or Dec. We used to do that all the time before we went to IRG/MIG/HSDG what ever you prefer to call it. Now I don't do any fall "stockpiling" in the classic sense. I am stockpiling all the time. I try to keep my rest/recovery times as long as possible....60 to 90 days. I prefer 90 or better most times. If I start in October with a 90 day rotation then I already have grass till Jan. 1, but I'm going to make smaller allocations so I will have maybe 120 days of grass, which gets me to Feb.1. Everything I graze in Oct. will regrow and now I have that to graze. Most likely will get growth in Nov. and Dec. So should have enough to get to Mar.1-15th Same way in the summer...if it stops raining in June I should still have enough grazing till Sept. 1. by then hopefully it will have rained and it doesn't take a whole lot of rain to get grass going with this system.
