Implementing Rotational Grazing and Observing Cattle

What happens here

After the cattle have been moved, regularly observe their behavior and health. Look for signs of lameness, infected teats, excessive hair shedding, or signs of mites. Pay close attention to their manure; excessive diarrhea (scours) or 'wet butts' can indicate issues with adjusting to green grass. It's crucial to slowly acclimate cattle to lush green pastures to prevent digestive problems. Continuously monitor the pasture's grass height and condition, adjusting future grazing rotations to prevent overgrazing and allow adequate rest for each paddock, typically aiming for 45 days of rest between grazing cycles.

Goal: Maintain animal health and pasture quality through observation and managed grazing.
