It\u2019s that time of year again\u2026 spring is in the air, the temperature is rising, and we\u2019ve entered the grazing season with gusto. This can often come with its own challenges, but this year is surprisingly different; spring grazing utilisation is the best we\u2019ve seen in years and residuals are tight and clean.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention that the grass wedge is of great quality. Cows are eating the grass down well, and in turn, it\u2019s not over mature. It\u2019s the most digestible that we\u2019ve seen for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great example of one of our clients\u2019 grazing wedge is shown below; to have grass growth under such control this early in the season sets an enviable scene for the rest of the year. \u201cIt\u2019s always better to be ahead of the grass growth curve at this time of year. If you get behind now, you create problems for the rest of the season\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t feel the same and find that your cows are not grazing well enough, then you may need to adapt your approach, starting with an understanding of the importance of daily grazing pressure and reaching target residuals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
