[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6273284, member: 5764"] Ah, you look for 1/3 of the mass left behind that way then. I picture it as at least 1/3 of the plant left (really here they recommend more like 2/3) So if I picture the plant in my minds eye I divide it into thirds and when the cows eat the top third they're done. I seen a really good illustration of this with the bottom third being for the plant and soil, the middle third for wildlife and the top for livestock. Of course they don't divvy it up this perfectly but it was a good image to save in my mind for later. Especially when you have grasses that don't grow as tall. What Timothy and Brome can handle as a third would be the entire wheatgrass plant! If done by mass then you're still liable to have areas eaten right down and the areas around the pats and where they bed constituting the third of the field left. [/QUOTE]
