[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7278832, member: 63856"] [ATTACH type="full"]925457[/ATTACH] What they don't have as a "fact" is that your nice healthy soil is full of living creatures that also need energy. So we have to budget to feed them! Hence the "you can't waste grass" thing, sometimes looking at a problem a different way can be revealing a flaw. However having lower stocking density and lower covers reveals a multiple energy loss 1. Less leaf area = less energy in 2. Low cover increases bare soil= less energy in 3. Moisture loss 4. Animals expend more energy in grazing 5. Less for the soil = downward spiral 6. Respiration is the same, but between less animals 7. Transpiration is less, but less animals/ac .. and the opposite is also true, my animals may not want to get up but it's not a lack of energy. Their tanks are full! [/QUOTE]
