When to start grazing the green?
I’ve bitten the bullet and moved the mob out of the sacrifice paddock and onto the green this morning – would have preferred another week but have run out of hay and there’s none to be found anywhere locally it seems. According to Dr Judi Earl we should be aiming for around 3000kg DM/ha in order to ensure we can leave a residual of 2000kg DM/ha after grazing for good recovery .. on my place I reckon I am pretty much there – although its a bit patchy so I estimate I’m sitting on around 2500kg DM/ha, hoping after this next bit of rain we’ll get a bump. What’s everyone else doing?
