[QUOTE="dave_shelby, post: 1796914, member: 22579"] I have taken a few things from Greg and even more from other rotational grazing guys. He does know his stuff, although I dont find him to be a good teacher as he carries on about trivial things like manure pats and admiring some "chunk" of a cow. There are studies that support rotational grazing's increase in carrying capacity and I have personally seen it. BTW, I really dont like when people start following schools of thought led my dynamic and entertaining personalities. It helps the cult leader and hurts the rest of us trying to make our way in the world. "[B]Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."[/B] I used to wonder about preachers; if they made their money playing the part, how do I know they are genuine? And now, in this age of social media, the disease has spread and it really is difficult to determine between projection and reality.
