Walk your paddocks once a week. Take particular note of those paddocks due to be grazed in seven to ten days. If it is going to be too strong or insufficient then take some action.
Good grazing is more a product of the commitment and attitude of a farmer than the land and weather.
Good grazing conditions during May allowed producers to graze out paddocks well. This is leafy young grass around 200mm in length. Controlling a grass surplus Rapid grass growth in recent weeks has seen surplus grazing on many farms. At higher covers, fibre levels build up, reducing feeding value. Where covers are excessive, paddocks can be taken out for big-bale silage.
