[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7543129, member: 63856"] Really it just depends on timing. Because we aren't "doing as much work" we can show up and annoy the mobs for a bit - so they all poo and pee on their grazed bit - and then they don't roar into the new one and poo all over that as they scoff it. That helps them waste less. They still knock it down really quickly, but there aren't the big patches of ungrazed grass that someone peed all over, just being left. Of course we are always changing stuff, but that's the general theme, slow and steady. If we decide that they could leave a bit, then we change the timing so that they do leave a bit, and the other cells soak up the difference. We may go to 3 mobs of calves soon, and give them all a shift once a day, as opposed to 100 head getting 3 shifts a day. That extra time to pick around should help them clean up, and pressure around the troughs will be less. Pressure on the shy animals will also be reduced. [/QUOTE]
