(sticK - 11 December 2012 ) The concept of rotational grazing has been around for so long now (but only about 60 years really) that we take it for granted.
It is ‘just’ the way we do things at the on farm level, and there’s no question that this is the best way to manage the ryegrass/clover mix that makes up a majority of our pastures.
