    The timing of this clip was just amazingly perfect! I have decided to finally do a proper grazing plan for my farm this year, and to get a grip of how to do that was on my todo list yesterday evening! 😵 Thanks for saving me a bunch of hours trying to understand that just from the book.

    Richard, I had to stop what I was doing to say that you are a GENIUS! The bit from 14:00-15:10 is brilliant but also so many more gems in this and practically every video you've done. Thank you for your work!

    I love how this has been worked out mathematically. Right up my street, I love things being planned and accurate

      The planning might be accurate for about 10 minutes - you will have to begin monitoring immediately and will likely need to replan almost immediately, we are after all working with nature who has not read our plan... As Allan Savory states in his Holistic Management book 'plan' is actually a 24 letter word: 'plan-monitor-control-replan' (page 67)

    Hi Richard. We measure our pasture in Kg dry matter and run cows on grazing blocks or strips measured and with simple electric fencing.
    When the cows have eaten down the pasture to a measured quantity usually per day they are moved to the next block.
    The manure is left as fertilizer. The length of the round of grazing blocks depends on the season. Pasture is usually irrigated.
    Records are kept.
    Works very well for dairy cattle giving high yield in Tasmania.

    Its a good idea to go through the process as a way to fully think out how you are going to utilise the grass you have in the non-growing season. The problem with these paper plans is that 10 mins after you finish them, something comes up which means you need to put your animals somewhere else, say moving to higher ground in the wet, eat out fire breaks, hard graze a paddock you are going to seed into, manage lambing paddocks, manage hay paddocks, manage low worm burden paddocks for weaners etc. These things largely depend on the weather in that year. Ive never had a year where my stock rotated with my plan, and every year is different, even if you try to do the same thing. The thing about these biological ecosystems is that they are very complex and simplified plans just dont work the way you envisage they might.

    Richard...... Fantastic vidoe!
    Question: When you were speaking of the shoulder height growth just prior to drought and when the grasses were pushed over..... later the building of a deep top sil was the outcome. Did this same field receive any seeding or was this reviving and enhancing the existing seed bank?

  • @ssubotai
    @ssubotai 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Are you familiar with Gregg Judy? He seems to advocate gracing the grass with only taking the top of and then wait until the top is grown back. So I guess he goes for the keep grass in vegetative growth height. Or have I misunderstood things?

    • @leelindsay5618
      @leelindsay5618 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Greg Judy is also using the same grazing planner and is grazing in similar manner because he also learned it from the Savory Institute. Greg is taking the tops in the spring and trampling some as well. When he gets into stockpiling, he is also taking some and trampling some. Waiting until the grass has tips, as Greg says, is a visual way of saying the same thing that Richard is saying about letting the grass recover back to what was taken in grazing. These are slight variations of explaining the same thing.

  • @FamilyMadVentures
    @FamilyMadVentures 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Can we apply this to horses? How do we adapt, as horses tend to be out for space for movement more than pasture, right? (Not a horse person, but neighbor has asked to use our field).

    • @suzienicholls2999
      @suzienicholls2999 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Horse over grass worse than cows lol... wait for reactions but they love eating the same bit of grass over and over, so forcing them to move to different area each day is great for the grass and them

    • @leelindsay5618
      @leelindsay5618 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, horses can be done just the same and now there are many examples showing up of how to incorporate or just graze horses regeneratively on YT.

  • @peterclark9987
    @peterclark9987 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a planning tool it will become cumbersome as observation + awareness of the impact on the forage will be required to optimise production.
    As a method of establishing stocking rates + forecasted seasonal weather it could provide the most value.
    Not being able to follow the cows with poultry is simply an engineering problem. The benefits should force some hard thinking.
    Perhaps someone could develop a variety of templates for Excel, etc. Paper becomes messy.

  • @clivesconundrumgarden

    Is it possible to under graze? In other words, you only have a few animals and are lucky to have lots of room for them. Does it mean you're not allowing the grass to fully regenerate because it's not trampled or eaten at an 80% or so rate with your 10% or so left standing?

    • @leelindsay5618
      @leelindsay5618 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it is very possible to undergraze. Check Allan Savory's many talks on not having enough animals and having grasses die and slowly oxidize in "brittle environments". It can even happen in more humid environments and still have adverse effects. Undergrazing is what is causing desertification in the US western states.

    That's rotational grazing to me. Holistic management is literally rotational grazing with focus on grass hight which is common in many professional grazing system in many places around the world. What's the difference?

    • @benbudoff8132
      @benbudoff8132 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most rotational grazing plans are not considerate of recovery times for the forage. They just mathematically even out the acerage and divide by number of animals. The typical sad result is overgrazing which slowly leads to reduced root depth over time and eventual desertification. It takes a long time to see this decline and the eventual loss gets blamed on global warming or drout or other factors. Holistic managemant is about the soil/plant first, then the animals are used to manage the forage growth and soil health.

    • @leelindsay5618
      @leelindsay5618 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can think of it as "Adaptive" rotational grazing. You are rotating, but you adapt to weather (inclement and good), grass cycles, wildlife/bug cycles, your life/plans, and anything that you add or change about your farm (like adding chickens following cows).
