Our first experiment in whole property rotational grazing has had fine results. By leading with the two milk cows and following with the two yearlings, we had around 3 weeks of grazing per paddock (each around 1/8th of available 6 acres). This allowed them to eat it down to the point that the Little Buck, under-powered though it be, could flail mow it. The results were very satisfactory, with mulch shading regrowth for the hotter months. We are anxious to get the larger sprinklers going, but for now, we will definitely be able to re-graze after 2 months. Ignore the foreground weeds and dirt, parts of under-house excavation.
