Abstract

Whether farms are measuring grass or not, all rotational grazing systems should be moving cows to new paddocks at least every 48 hours. Ms Jowsey said the best way to manage grass well into the winter and ensure good grass covers in the spring was to increase rotation length and overall farm covers. Start the last grazing round at an AFC of 2,500-2,600kg DM/ha and end the grazing season at a minimum AFC of 2,100kg DM/ha. [Extracted from the article]
