[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7860329, member: 63856"] Yeah, what I have "learnt" as opposed to heard here is that we actually end up with really tough grass where the N is too high (like a urine spot), now that we're sorta getting longer periods in between harder grazings the grass although stemmy at the moment, it's still really soft and juicy stem and the stock are just waxing it by the time it was similar height with the grazing we tried, "it would have blunted their teeth" which is mainly why my dairy neighbour is in the same predicament, can't quite see how to get over that hump from tall grass being rankish to tall grass being sweet (y) we have sunk a lot of Carbon into the land all the same, with minimal removal of "stuff" whether meat or silage, I do know our farm business system with the not-really-needing-to-set-records is helping with getting us to the stage we can really regenerate the land without much fear of things going bang the good thing about free grass and being paid for time is that it really helps shift the focus away from that "super quality" thing and be comfortable that cattle will get all the nutrition they want from whatever you put in front of them - getting a daily docket is great but it makes you panic the second day the litres are down, which is about 12 days before they would come up again. - I have a really cheap transition period compared to a dairy!
