[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1796938, member: 9096"] It's all a tradeoff between labor and maximizing the benefit of the cows, and these days labor is kinda expensive. I have my hands full a lot of the time with irrigation and haying and whatever other projects I have, I'm not going to say that moving them daily is bad, it's just I don't have that kind of time to dedicate to it. I don't believe that for a minute.. cows will starve themselves grazing 1" tall fresh shoots rather than going to the tall stuff that isn't as nice, and the longer they wait the worse it gets. you're both losing grass growth and calf growth at that point, depending on the soil type they're compacting the ground, killing roots, etc..
