[QUOTE="Tirglas, post: 7434610, member: 141817"] Decide on 12, 24, 36 or 48 grazing hour sizes and allow for your dry matter intakes then match to desired opening and residual covers. Example 100 cows 15kg grass dmi Opening cover 3000 Residual cover 1500 24hr paddock approx 1 ha So on an organic round length 30 days you would hope to have a grazing platform of at least 30 1ha paddocks and expect to top them up whenever growth is sustained below 50kg/day. More reasonable would be a few more paddocks of 1 ha or 30 larger paddocks which would allow lower opening covers. [/QUOTE]
