I saw Holistic Management – which incorporates rotational/mob grazing followed by appropriate rest periods in Canada on my Nuffield Farming Scholarship tour. One suckler herd owner I visited sticks in my mind. By subdividing his grazing into four areas rather than letting the cows wander across the whole piece the entire season, he grew more pasture, which was also better quality, which allowed him to more than double his stocking rate. Increased organic matter at the base of the swards and extra cover made the pasture more able to stand up to droughty summers. There was more wildlife buzzing around and the 11-year old cows were ‘acting like seven year olds!’
