1. This fescue pasture was
grazed for the first time in 2003 (6 acre field grazed for 3 days
by 47 cows & 32
calves). |
 |
2. This 4.5 acre field of
annual rye was grazed to low the first time and made slow regrowth before
being grazed this time. |
 |
3. This is a second picture
of the field with annual rye. |
 |
4. The Eastern Gamagrass has regrown after being seeded into corn in 2002.
The corn and gamagrass was grazed during November and December and will be
planted back to corn in May. Dave usually plants corn for two years into gamagrass before the gamagrass becomes to competitive for corn.
The second year of corn usually yields 50% of what the corn yields the
first year into Eastern Gamagrass. |

About the Pasture Walk
This Pasture Walk was
organized by Keenan Turner, Pulaski County Agriculture and Natural
Resources Extension Agent. The Pasture Walk involves visiting a farm and
meeting with a farmer who is trying to maximize grazing and reduce the
need for baling hay. Some of these practices are unconventional and some
have not worked. This page is not a comprehensive overview of the trials
and errors. It is merely an introduction into the topic. If you have
questions regarding the Pasture Walk, please call or write Keenan Turner. |
