Is there one "sweet spot" or multiple throughout the grass growth year/curve?
In a nutshell we are trying to balance these sweet "spots" within our systems i.e. stock class, soil, long/short term objectives etc.
Finding one grass growth sweet spot to graze seems to me too simplistic i.e three leaf or seedhead emergence or X kg DM/ha etc.
oh thérè is a sweet spot on a sigmoïde curve alright. each pasture species has one, and for many species it Can bé achieved multiple Times a year But you will never hit it right all thé Time, infact you wont hit it right often at all.
Thats why multispecies pastures are so useful as they hedge your bets so well.
Agréé 100% with @Kiwi Pete about platemeters. though i feel a bit excluded when we talk about grazing, dm/Ha down thé pub. I tend to say it's about boot high or bollock high or whatever. But we all get to thé same place in thé end.
