I don't know if many of you have done much HRM stuff but one of the principles in Alan Savoury's book is succession. Basically it's how nature moves from bare ground back to forest. This pasture was bare ground-we seeded oats and fall rye-swath grazed the oats-grazed the rye the next spring then baled it later that summer. The next year was wet and we grazed a solid mat of weeds-if we would of charged our cows the going custom rate it generated $93/acre. After that we basically left it alone other than bale grazing on it in the winter and rotating cows through it during the grazing season. It actually gets overused a bit because it's handy to the corrals. As you can see it's progressed into a productive grass stand.
