[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7259904, member: 63856"] You'll find this interesting then[ATTACH type="full" alt="20201127_122904.jpg"]923423[/ATTACH] My neighbours' - paddocks... far right has been shut up for baleage, they cut the same 50ac every year. The one in front, I grazed with the mob a few weeks ago then left a bull in.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20201127_122920.jpg"]923424[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923425[/ATTACH]This little ½ac paddock I grazed for an afternoon last time the cattle were in the paddock they're in now, but he's so hard to deal with I'm not bothering anymore, he can mulch his grass or do what he likes. Wife is lovely, he's a tosser. So I just graze the verges. What all this driving round and "observing" shows, is that grass really gets serious about seed formation/flowering when you keep hurting it - like Andy's perennial hay paddocks, or Alex's ones which haven't had careful grazing management. One high-density grazing is better than none, but it probably is one of those compounding/cascading things where it keeps getting better the more you do it. [ATTACH type="full"]923428[/ATTACH] Like you, I'm really keen to see what we can do with this. [/QUOTE]
