Mick you do realize you just said it’s called pasture it just grows and now you mention rotational grazing, an intensive form of grazing pasture. You are contradicting yourself. “You educate yourself” lol. You do realize you are talking to someone who has grown pasture for cows for well over a decade as their job and lived it my whole life yet you look over a fence as you drive past and you claim you are the expert on this topic.haha. How many cattle have you grazed in your life?
If you want to talk grazing go ahead fill us in with your educated knowledge.
what are the number of days for the rotation of your neighbors in summer vs winter
what grass species are they using.
What stage are they grazing the grasses.
What stage are they grazing them down to?
are they incorporating legumes into the pastures or other species.
what fertilizer schedule do they have
how many tons / ha are they growing per year.
what’s their water use efficiency
What growth rates are they getting with the beefies
what are the energy and protein levels of the pasture.
What’s their stocking rate.
that will do for the moment.
I dont know whose owning who but leaning towards Baz,hes got the pedigree.
Since you said its a photo finish,it means Baz wins by a landslide. Dudes done this his whole life.
Don’t underestimate Micky.
Do so at your own peril.
Your neighbour owns a cattle ranch?
Micks trying to make it sound simplistic but i work in the beef industry albeit a small cog in a complicated process imo,Baz is right,theres more to it than throwing grass to a few cows.

Just cos you hose down the slaughter pits for a living, doesn’t mean you know fuk all about raising cattle numbnuts
I recognise your effort in making throwing a few cows into a paddock till they have eaten down the pasture and then moving them into the next paddock complicated and scientific.
However complicated you make it sound, my neighbour who has never finished high school and who literally can not read a write seems to manage doing it just fine
You don't throw grass anywhere, grass grows in the paddocks cows eat the grass when you put them in the paddock.
Trust me it is that simple, cows roam free and eat the grass, once they run out of grass the farmer moves them to another area of the farm while the previous paddock recovers by growing more grass.
Mick. You know the saying. You don’t know what you don’t know. That is you and farming. You don’t have enough knowledge to understand that you don’t understand the topic.
Because you have a hobby farmer neighbor that you looked over the fence at you claim you can summarize all the science, work and knowledge that is grazing cattle down to grass grows and throw cattle on it. Lol. You are delusional.
At what level do you move cattle so you don’t overgraze pastures.
What happens when you overgraze or undergraze pastures.
What is the ideal amount of time to take for cattle to graze the pasture down
What is strip grazing.
Why is back fencing used.
All basic basic grazing knowledge. Should be easy for an expert like you.
