New South Poll Calf | Regrowth on Pastures grazed non- selectively

We have a new calf born to an old cow. We’ve been grazing non selectively so today I’ll go back where we grazed a little over a week ago and show you how it is recovering. I’ll also share why I believe non-selective grazing serves as a great drought plan.

Praying you get that rain bud👍

Discovering non selective grazing has been a God sent blessing. Currently we need around 9200 cow days a year to feed our herd. I just completed a forage survey today and the results are astonishing. Without growing another blade of grass we have almost 14,000 CD of stockpile ahead of us and that doesn’t include the additional 63 ac farm we’re resting. I never imagined we’d be grossly understocked in less than a year of practicing this “stupid” method lol. WOW is all I can say.

LOL. I am going to go be an intern and make some real money.

I should have said Total Grazing Program, non-selective grazing is only a tool in the toolbox with this system

@@alanwesterfield4254 Alan, have you ever looked into Total Grazing?

[@alanwesterfield4254]

@@tickcreekranch yes. I watch Jim and what Running T is doing. I think it is a good way to do it. I am having to run a bush hog a lot to try to reset pastures. Talk about cows being selective... they are NOTHING compared to a sheep. There is a reason the cowboys hated sheep farmers in the old westerns. They can sot pepper from fly crap and will pick what they like to the dirt... and if they don't like what is there they would just assume to sit and starve.... at some point I would like to incorporate cattle again on my pastures but right now too $$$$.

@@alanwesterfield4254 yes I feel your pain with the “resetting”. I’ve done an incredible amount of mowing over the last couple years but it’s really starting to pay off. Hope you’ve been getting some rain, we’ve been really blessed this year in the Ozarks.

Just remember weather forecasters motto: if they don't know, they'll say "scattered showers," and if they REALLY don't know, they'll say "widely scattered showers"
