My thought today is to follow up on a post from nine months ago. Last February, our pasture and winter supply of hay was burned up by a careless act. I made my best attempt to turn the other cheek and pledged to watch for something good to come from the setback. Well, all I have to offer is good advice. Don’t burn off pasture land. The regrowth has been slow and the grass seems to have thinned out. From a profit angle, the cattle began consuming more mineral when they were turned into the area two weeks ago. I believe that the soil life was driven away causing the forage’s nutritional value to drop. I am closely watching this grazing area as the cattle are moved across it. My plan to rebuild this pasture is to not graze the plants down to the usual height of six to eight inches and at the same time, get even manure distribution. Hopefully next spring will bring better growth, less water runoff and an increase in soil life.
