Grazing With the Weather
Precipitation and temperature play major roles in pasture productivity, and knowing how to adjust grazing to match current conditions is key. Are you shifting your management to meet pasture conditions?
Stocking and grazing management are not static things. When production is limited, especially during a drought period, stretching forage resources is a high priority. In contrast, during wet years, grass growth can get ahead of our grazing rotation and lose quality.
