Mob Grazing & Livestock Nutrition
I’ve been mob grazing now since getting the sheep out of the sacrifice paddock in early June. I was also feeding hay until just a couple of days ago, had a small problem with scours with a couple of the mob but now resolved. I have been sizing the grazing cells to fit the mob for an even graze/trample of the whole cell over a max 3 day period. My question is what is the impact on livestock by forcing them to eat everything (new and old) in the cell (to a golf ball height) before moving to next cell, as compared to a light graze of just the new green stuff.

I thought they were only meant to have one bite of each plant then moved. Pretty sure Judi earl says don’t leave them too long or they go back for a second bite. Not that that helps you.
