Grazing Management
Greg getting body condition back on cows exiting winter
With the spring flush you need to be focused on capturing as much energy from the grass as possible. This puts weight back on your cattle after exiting winter.

With the spring flush of grass focus on getting as much energy into your animals as possible. Move them onto larger paddocks at least twice per day for maximum animal performance. Your in the solar energy business, now go move your livestock!!
We are going to reverse the trend of get big or get out. We need more small farms not less. Our national food system is broken and along with it our nations soils. We can regenerate our soils and livelihoods with ruminant animals leading the way.
Even with our best planned grazing movements, sometimes you have to change them immediately. Mother nature is always throwing you a curve ball or two!
Cattle and sheep are the perfect species to graze together. The sheep parasite is ingested by the cow and cannot complete its life cycle, the sheep do the same for the cattle. You also get weeds eaten by sheep that would be left by cattle.
Boot stage forage is like rocket fuel to your livestock. Get your livestock across your farm as quickly as possible when your plants reach boot stage. There’s money in them leaves!
Graziers have a huge advantage with herbivores that produce a healthy protein from green blades of grass! Are you kidding me!!!!! They also create healthy landscapes that halt deserfication and restore clean water. Being a grazier is a life like no other.
Cows with runny watery manure piles may be losing weight right when they do not need to be. With spring calving, cows need to be putting on weight.
If you can learn to read the perfect manure pile, your animal performance will skyrocket. By adjusting how the animals graze your pastures your profits will soar. Check out our grazing school in 3 weeks to learn more.
Move em fast enough so that the animals do not take a second bite from the same plant. Get the best of both worlds with faster moves in the spring you get excellent animal performance and quick recovery on your grazed grass plants,
