[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7004151, member: 63856"] They're really just a sign of heaps of localised impact, compaction, just bale-graze somewhere different next time, so you don't overimpact the one spot. Meanwhile, your docks will replenish and remedy (by way of getting carbon down really deep into where the bare soil has kinda starved it) and give it a bloody good kickstart - there is literally no better plant from a soil's point of view than something like a dock of thistle. Such a powerful root. Just make sure you get the cows to give them a good workout to stimulate them, the reason most people have persisting weed problems is because they attempt to "beat them out". The damage remains so the weeds reappear - you have to love them for them to let you go! Don't think "I need to get them before they go to seed" but more "I need to prune this so it stays leafy and my cows will keep eating them" because that's a win-win-win situation. The answer of course, 'depends on you' because everyone has their own take on things. [/QUOTE]
