[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5049846, member: 63856"] It can look like any number of different methods in my limited experience - have had a message from Sheila Cooke and she will be keen to help us discover once she's back in the land of internet :) For me it seldom looks like proper high density mob stocking simply because my social commitments don't always lend themselves to me doing daily farmwork - it still revolves around not eating the regrowth, keeping livestock moving on.. but you wouldn't necessarily see what is happening. I sometimes will only spend an hour per week farming, check stock and open some gates, and having a good look around. That said, we are probably enjoying the effects of the farm being under HM for many years, so the need to improve it is not as great as the need to maintain. I hope that makes sense? There are certain events and times of year when it makes it much easier to achieve more via animal impact, a big part of it is planning to make the best use of rain events, stressors that hasten reproduction, when is the time to focus on seed transfer for best effect - all these things are planned for already for next year, hopefully the weather follows the plan a little more than it has this year. At the moment we are largely overgrazing due to lack of processing space for our cattle, again something that I can't control, but can easily allow for just the same - it is very flexible, once you have your goals.
