Mid-season grass, secret of success

There has been a lot of very early season grazing this spring, and with suitable conditions, pastures were generally well grazed to less than two inches and were in great shape facing into April. However, very cold and wet April/May weather resulted in very poor growth and grazing conditions.

A lot of supplementation and on /off grazing were necessary. Complete indoor feeding for periods was required in many areas to avoid damaging pastures.

Many farmers are unnecessarily overstocked for their type of farms and also for their quotas.
