I did a lot of trials with grazing last year while I was doing the Jaime Elizondo total grazing course and I wanted to share an observation re grazing annual species in a Mediterranean environment.
What I noticed is that the animals happily grazed most of the vegetative forage early in the season, but were prone to scours etc. so did better…

So you mean that mid growing season mob should be eating down to past golfball height & not returning until well past beer can height .. assuming mob density is at the right level for an even graze.??

Probably not lower than golfball but, depending on the plant species, heights above a beer can 🙂

Hi Eric,
Cheers for your input. I couldn’t agree more that the “don’t graze it down too much theory” leads to selective grazing. I’ve done the total grazing course with Jamie Elizondo and got a lot out of it. I’m seeing great benefits from putting the principles into practice in terms of soil health, diversity of species, generation of biomass…
