Raising Cattle: What is Bale Grazing v/s Unrolling hay, is it better for the land?
What happens here
Continuously observe the pasture for signs of soil improvement. Look for increased green growth, especially in areas where hay was concentrated, even during dry spells. Dig beneath the hay residue to check for new grass shoots and developed root structures. The video illustrates green patches appearing where bales were grazed, showing vibrant new growth compared to adjacent non-grazed areas. The presence of mold or mildew under the hay also indicates moisture retention and biological activity, crucial for a healthy soil ecosystem.
Goal: Verify the effectiveness of grazing practices on soil health and grass growth.
