recover much faster. If your stubble
heights are shorter than that, re
growth will be slower and you
should lengthen your rest periods.
Remember that a
quick way to kill off
desirable forage spe
cies is to continually
overgraze, and allow
the grazing of re
growth without a
proper rest period
for recovery.
A good way of
managing a grazing
system is to move
your livestock
through the system
according to the
forage growth. I
have seen systems
operated and man
aged according to a
calendar. The prob
lem with this
method is that the
stage of the forage
growth is never con
sidered and gener
ally results in
overgrazing or un
dergrazing and not
effectively utilizing
what forages we
offer to the live
stock. In this
system, we have a
set schedule and, re
gardless of the stage
of the forage growth

they will be in a cer

It doesn’t take rocket science to
realize that you could easily get into
trouble by following this type of
system. We need to have flexibility
in a grazing system to have it work,
properly. This flexibility needs to be
not only in the rotation scheme, but
also with the physical parts of the
system, such as the fencing and wa
tering systems.
A good way to take a look at sys
tems to see how you can add flexibil
ity to your grazing program is to
attend pasture walks and field days
to see how other graziers are doing
it. This gives you an opportunity to
get answers to many questions you
may have or to observe how others
have solved a particular problem.
Then you could adapt their ideas
into your system.
It also affords you an opportunity
to find out things that do not work
as well and prevents you from
making a similar mistake. These in
formal outings are an excellent way
for graziers to learn from each
other. There is a listing of upcoming
field days and pasture walks in this
section of Lancaster Farming.
A field day I want to draw your
attention to is sponsored by the
Pennsylvania Grazing/Forage
Lands Conservation Coalition. This
is the coalition that I discussed with
you in my January ponderings.
They have planned a field day and
pasture walk on August 23,2000 on
a Snyder County dairy farm. The
hosts for this event will be Tim and
Denise Wetzel. Just because it is a
dairy farm, do not feel that because
