That’s a great idea, putting next years chart over this years and planning to alter the rotation around the farm.One thing that may be a consideration for you, place your new chart over that one and trace it with a pencil - so you don't (plan to) graze any area two years in a row. Thus it already forms a template for your next annual migration by having your 'don't wants' visible?
Then plan around your 'don't wants' to arrive at your 'do wants'?
How do you feel you went, did your grazing match your plan? What did you learn?
Like you, we have huge variables with rain and also our stocking rate/stock classes, so I don't record it as such. I do keep animal-grazing-days per ha records sometimes, but not always.
What I can say is that we've better than doubled our grazing days/ha but by how much is open to interpretation, as we're still rehydrating after a couple of dry years and it's our limiting factor, clearly it is
