First off don’t let the girls chew the pasture down to bare dirt give them a break and move them on before it gets too short that way the grass bounces back quicker and you don’t burn it out
Keep an eye on the weather if there’s rain coming let them graze a little harder so you don’t waste the fresh growth but if it’s getting dry ease up and let the pasture rest longer
Watch your paddock sizes if they’re too big they’ll just cherry pick the sweet stuff and leave the rough you want them to clean it up pretty even before moving
Don’t forget water clean and close by a cow won’t walk far for a drink and if they don’t drink they don’t milk
Lastly keep walking your fields you’ll spot trouble before it becomes a problem and you’ll learn which paddocks bounce back fastest
