Watching someone have an endless conversation...with themself. I think I may actually try and keep the cows for about 11 months…..We are just now really getting into some of the best time to reset succession on different stands…..Its much easier to have that trampling effect right now…. If you really get into feeding corn you can actually use it to help mob graze areas on a small scale. My cousin feeds the crap out of ‘em….I noticed a while back that the deer were beating the dirt down to the mud and I told him next time you put some out to move his spot over,,,,,the next time move it again…..Well, now that’s turned into him pretty much using corn and deer to mob graze reset the vegetation buffer surrounding some of the food plots….Now is the time when that is really effective…….

The problem isn’t if these principles would work, they definitely could. It boils down to functionality and getting people up buy in. Rotational mob grazing has been hard enough but trying to get people to mob graze southeastern forestlands will be practically impossible. Harder than getting them not to till? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nFrSeKL.png)

There’s situations like areas around Hurtsboro that are more like “rangeland” where I could see it being feasible to get a foothold. It would be pretty easy to compare the areas as well with the vast amount of acreage being managed the same way with fire.

Yep. I have a couple of clients that make me spray, bush hog, disk, and plant. I’ve explained to them why I don’t usually do that and have even drilled them some test plots. They were impressed with the results, it saved them money but they still want me to do conventional tillage.
Whatever, it’s their money. I think I’m slowly getting them to see the light though.
On our farms we do rotational/mob grazing where it’s convenient. I assure you, the principles work. I have better fields and produce more tonnage per acre. I can’t do it where we’re growing monoculture grass crops though. Causes too many problems.
