[QUOTE="Walwyn, post: 8151780, member: 2927"] Coming to same conclusions as your self as we've experimented last couple years. Diverse mixes really do have a blaze of growth if given long enough recovery. The laxer grazing definitely doesn't work in ryegrass dominant paddocks, as you said just losing quality even sooner than "normal" rotational grazing. Where these heifers are moving from is predominantly PRG with oversown clovers and herbs, we've slowed their progress as its got stronger ahead of them, I reckon probably harvesting approx 4000kg/ ha. I've assumed 5000 as a starting point in this paddock but going to cut and weight a quadrant or 2 to satisfy my curiosity, as it probably more. Allows for more time for recovery, than flying through only harvesting 12-1500. Just balancing it against quality is the conundrum in my mindset currently. Heifers are relaxed at moving time twice a day, dung been a bit loose but think that's just the PRG. [/QUOTE]
