[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7303210, member: 63856"] Good question, the answer is "as much as I can give it" We've only got the sheep until weaning which will be late next month, at a guess. The heifers are going January and the 96 steers are only here until their owner gets his irrigation sorted and grows feed - so in short, they could be back in 45 days or maybe it won't be grazed for 100 days. We'll just have to wait and see, and then see what quality we have and pick the right stock for the job I know that's not what you meant! The planned rest for this time of year is 45-60 days - our system (no regrassing plan and no fert/lime) means that we do grow a bit slower but we're trying to cut down the number of grazings per year. The goal eventually is to graze about 3x, 60 days apart through the growing season and then "a 120 day round" through winter on foggage/deferred grazing. It's quite different when you change the stocking to suit the grass/environment as opposed to creating the environment to suit the stock you want to keep, different sort of mindset and rules. Different cashflow too! [/QUOTE]
