Just to add a little bit more to that to illustrate what I’m talking about with there not being many, if any, other feasible ways of replicating what the cattle do…..

One of the biggest issues that we have with turkeys has to do with plant structure…….the density and the height…….Just like Greg said in that video, if you don’t graze big blue stem it will get 5 to 6 feet tall and the best time to graze it is when its 2 ft tall…….Which one is the turkey gonna like better??......Of course, they are going to by far prefer it to stay 12-24 inches tall and we have the ability to keep it in that optimal stage with cattle in a manner you just cant replicate…….They not only take the vegetation back down to optimal height but they trample a bunch down creating patchy “space” and optimal density as well…….or at least something closer to it......and we're talking about resetting this optimal structure on 4-8 week cycles give or take......not every 2-3 years.......It seems like a no brainer from the habitat standpoint.....My bigger concern is killin $2000 cows grin
