[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7259821, member: 63856"] Spot on - it's great having a decent group to bounce ideas off - that's why I'm trying the "density focus" this spring, the final frontier of grazing management if you like. We tried the residual focus for long enough, and that doesn't do much. Last year we got the grazing charts going and put the focus on recovery times - better than grass measuring, but I am hoping that maintaining density and then bouncing the plant recovery time off that will be better still. Obviously we don't have quality concerns as these cattle are well adapted, if quality is an issue then we have plenty of tools "in the box"... including getting bigger older cattle to mop it up. But I really want the seed this year, it appears at this stage that we will have the moisture so there will be feed. Not entirely sure of the weight of the mob, but they're getting about 450m² at a time, so multiply what you reckon they average by 48 head, times 22 shifts per ha and that's the stock density we're running.
