Dave where are these grazing herds? Just spent a few months in the
states including Wisconsin and the best i saw was from North California,
up through Oregon and into washington state. Unfortunately weather
prevented me from seeing any of the Eastern states. Any of you American
guys interested in real grazing techniques and not just turning them out
in a field, till it is finished, cannot go wrong visiting the 3 states i
mentioned. just driving down the road you see good pasture management.
Must be kiwi blood over there!!!!
