Grazing report: Grazed Mar 29, 2014 – Mar 31, 2014 by Byron Palmer

  • DATE: Mar 29, 2014 - Mar 31, 2014
  • MANAGEMENT UNIT: GE MU-2
  • ANIMAL DAYS HARVESTED: 78
  • ACREAGE GRAZED: 4.4
  • COMPUTED ADA: 17.72

This data is very rough. There was a TON of rain during this period and for much of that time we had the cattle sequestered in a small section on the road inside this paddock. They were fed while in this “dry lot” as it was called. They were also taken out from time to time to graze in other locations, such as in MU – 3. So the data is hard to capture accurately. However the size of this paddock recorded was not fully used, so the 3 days of 26 animal days which equals 78 is likely realistic for what they would harvest out of this paddock size. The area is very woodsy with poor quality forage except for the grassland part on the upper side of the paddock.
