This week, as you’re moving into the heart of grazing season, let’s talk about recovery periods after grazing and how important they can be to your pastures and your pocketbook.
We’ll start with this advice from Dave Pratt. He reminds us that if we start listening to our livestock and their opinions on when they should be moved to the next paddock or pasture, we might just be causing trouble for ourselves.
Next, Dave walks us through steps for making sure we have good recovery periods. In Part 1 he reminds us of the basic principles that guide our decision making.
Rest is Not a 4-Letter Word – Timing for Pasture Recovery – Part 1
In Part 2, Dave talks about how the growing season affects recovery rates and what we can do to adapt our management plan based on what we see happening.
Finally, here’s a little recovery period for you. We all work hard, but sometimes we’re working hard on the wrong things. Dave has some ideas for that.
Finally, the Funnies!
In Honor of Farmers and Ranchers Everywhere, It’s World Juggling Day!
