Rotational grazing is tricky and requires a special set of skills.
Solution
Measuring grass height, adjusting paddock size and trusting the process, are some of the solutions the Pitt Kaech family in Switzerland offers.
Description
This video shows how to manage pastures so that the cows have good grass throughout the growing season. The farm is set up for fully grazing a herd of Kiwi-Cross with seasonal calving. The Pitt Kaech family in Switzerland takes you on a farm tour, explaining how they manage their pastures on just over 30 hectares with 30 paddocks, where the cows are rotated according to the growth rate of the grass.
The family is organic, but the insights shared are relevant for all farmers looking to optimise their pasture management and increase grazing.
