The "why" generally helps the "how" out a lot.So true. It's the holistic approach that has the biggest potential, not the "mob grazing".
The best module for me after the Fundamentals was the Holistic Ecological Monitoring.
I'd like to do that module at some stage but I have picked up a bit via osmosis
that's why it's apparent that we need to be changing things up, actually. Having not topped for a few years and changing the grazing patterns, you get to notice quite a shift in the various pastures away from the "good" species to the "fillers and also-rans", hence we're onto non-selective grazing before we destock.
What I'm looking for is more rest, to balance the increase in animal impact via higher intensity grazing.
It's like an artist at work, if she keeps painting with the same brush and same colour then it will be a shitty picture even if it takes 20 hours to do.
It's very easy to overlook "diversity" even if we are looking for it
