[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6589469, member: 5764"] Perhaps you should look at giving it a longer rest period. While 40 days is likely plenty for your grass to rebound and recover it obviously isn’t enough for your ground. If you apply the same principals and let it rest longer, you’ll potentially get more long fibre to trample in, which will in turn create more OM which will increase water infiltration and holding capacity. Hillsides don’t have the depth of topsoil that flats and valleys do, we all know that. If you increase your top soil then you may not have such a saturation issue. And before you say something like it’d be hard to extend rotation with the amount of stock and feed you have... welcome to my life!! ? I know my pasture would be much happier with longer rests but realistically it’s hard to only graze once a year! [/QUOTE]
