Back to the basics….

Edward Taylor of Vermont, who has become a frequent visitor to this blog, came across an article on rotational grazing that he (and we) think will be helpful to beginners in grass feeding their herd.  The article is aimed at dairy farmers, who have even higher nutritional requirements for their animals than most of us, but the principles are the same.

Here at Thistle Hill we are somewhere between rotational and mob grazing.  Most times we move our heifers daily…the cows every other day or every third day.  We do still set stock our bulls.
