You Won't Believe How Raising Cattle Like This Has Saved Our Farm!

What happens here

During mob grazing, a critical aspect of eco-friendly grass management is to prevent animals from consuming grass too low. The goal is for cows to 'nip the tops' of the most palatable forage. This leaves sufficient leaf area for the plant to continue efficient photosynthesis, which is the process of converting sunlight into energy. When grass is grazed too short, its ability to photosynthesize is severely hindered, stunting its growth and recovery. By maintaining an optimal grazing height, you ensure that the plants can quickly regrow, contributing more energy back into the soil and supporting continuous, vigorous grass production.

Goal: Manage grazing intensity to prevent overgrazing, ensuring grass is not eaten down to the nub, which is essential for maintaining robust photosynthesis and rapid plant recovery.

What they say

Hide

energy of the Sun and not over Grace when you over Grace you cheat yourself let's show you just looking at the grass here okay what grass is doing really well and what grass isn't this is new grass this is new grass that has just started sprouting up right here do we want the cows to put much pressure on that what they'll do is they'll eat it all the way down they'll skip over this stuff and they'll eat all this down what are we looking at right here we are looking at Blades of grass this is one gigantic solar panel that helps feed the Energy System of the root system of this plant so what you see outside on the top of the ground is indicative of what's going on under the ground if you over graze your land down to the nub you can't get photosynthesis in these big wide leaves and therefore your plants are not as successful so you stunt the growth it only takes one season of stunted growth on your property to absolutely set you up for disaster all winter long the goal here is to continue moving the cows continue grazing the cows and not let them take it all the way down to the nub so that we can get as much of the energy from the Sun back into that plant so it will grow and recover faster okay that is the goal that's photosynthesis that's what's going on now we're about to
