[QUOTE="crashbox, post: 7553881, member: 143639"] Grand job [USER=5935]@jonnyjon[/USER] only way to start is to give it a crack. I have the same issue, first year here and trialling mob grazing on one field, not used to seeing so much "waste"...! Gabe Brown presentation he said he aims for the cattle to only eat one third of the cover crops, and trample two thirds back into the land to feed the soil. Struggling to justify how I can afford to do this with my herbal leys, as I need all the grass I can get right now! For mob grazing, I have heard you need upwards of 100,000 pounds per acre stocking rate (approx. 75 x 600kg cattle) to start to get the trampling effect, which again I am still struggling to get my head round. Have heard Neil Dennis (Canada) uses stocking rate over 1000,000 (yes one million!) pounds per acre, with multiple daily shifts. May be worth a quick calculation to see what your rate is. Good luck with it all, would be great to hear any lessons learnt. [/QUOTE]
