I’m assuming this is mainly based on cattle grazing and not sheep. We rotate on 3 acres with 5 sheep and can’t keep up with grass growth (eastern Canada). We move paddocks every 3-4 days and cut grass immediately afterwards for parasite exposure. Our animals only come back at 60 days. We’ll try stockpiling this winter though our grass hasn’t gone to seed. Does anyone have any thoughts on this for us? It worked well for us our first year. Half way thru our 2nd year now.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from MIG. Jim Gerrish is a legend, and I’d feel honored to shake his hand one day!

At 2:24...... what he learned after 40 years of grazing....??? And hes there in a room telling others what he learned ? Myself.....I also grazed dairy cattle for 45 years...and I do know you dont learn in a room..... the room is the pasture with cattle present. Not advertisements making money off of people whom also should be in their fields ! Obvious these speakers didnt do very well at farming or they wouldnt be there making money off of others ! You have Joel Salatin........and Mr Glyphosate ( Greg Judy ) that spend very little time doing the work of a farmer. Instead run the country telling folks how to farm ???? Just use a little logic. View their videos and ask " yourself " questions ! The latest .... Mr Glyphosate explaining how he controls brush on his pasture lands . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8bPj1j1V7Y Imagine for a moment......painting every single Multi-flora rose stem ????? The next year you have that many more of which grew back from the seed bank left behind by the previous plants ???? My Glyphosates method " will not " work long term. If someone suggests an easy way to control these pesky plants.....he always has the right answer. His way and only his way ! There are much easier ways to do the same job ! But these people " plant " ideas in peoples heads that dont really work ! Get out......open your mind....and experiment !
