Great info, I'm trying to do the non selective grazing down south and with sheep. Definately harder on the animal condition and harder to finish lambs purely on pasture.
Excellent presentation Cameron. With total grazing you said it’s often accompanied by ultra high density. I would add that leaving stock in a paddock longer , say 3-4 days you can achieve the same result provided animals are not able to regraze regrowth. Instructors such as Dick Richardson would argue that animals do better under these less frequent moves which are more in sequence with natural behaviour. Over that number of days the bacteria in the rumen will adjust as the quality of forage in the paddock changes but the time period is not so long that you completely lose rumen bug diversity. I’m down in Victoria grazing mainly C3 grasses such as phalaris and low palatable C4 grasses such as couch both of which can be avoided by stock resulting in high levels of poor quality oxidised dry material than inhibit regrowth in the non growing season. In our brittle environment clearing the growth points of these plants is very important. Having both sheep and cattle together or in sequence will also help to achieve a more uniform graze. I’m also experimenting with low intensity patchwork burning to deal with clumps of oxidised lignified grasses during the winter and seeing good regrowth at the moment. Keep up the videos, they are great.
@@Forester-qs5mf Thanks mate, definitely some great points you raise and some valid arguments from Dick. A major paradigm shift that I picked up from hearing one of his talks was the over emphasis a lot of people place on trampling carbon, makes a huge difference once you realise soil is built from the bottom up and not the other way round

You’re a legend brother thanks for the info. I’m just starting out on my cattle farming journey appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
Thanks mate! Best of luck with it all!
Great to see you back keep the videos coming
Thanks Jeffro!
Great to see you back Cam. Missed you!
Thanks Guys!
Great video Cameron. Love your work!!
Thankyou Jackson

Thanks Jason, certainly is, such a balancing game isn't it!

Thanks for the update Cam!
