I just cut a discharge into the side of my mower and what a difference it’s made. No growth suppressing wind row left in the field. Before 12” to 18” of every 7 feet in width was matted and would grow back incredibly slow and without new germination. Up to 21% of my grass regrowth was being suppressed. That affects 27 acres of productivity annually with once a year mowing. No bueno
@@tickcreekranch wow! You something bro! I do have the same issue. Another observation. I THINK when I mow with my zero turn, there is very little regrowth of goat weed. 🤔. Its just not practical
@@puresouthpasturesfarm6460 I assume you’re getting a lower cut with the zero turn. My mower has a bent blade so it almost scalps the ground and like you said, the weeds don’t reveg. Might think about putting a hole in the side of the bush hog. I saved the plates and plan to make them easy to reinstall with a couple bolts. For now it just open and works awesome
Totally agree with what u r sayin’. Thanks for the videos - I enjoy them tremendously. I’m going thru many of the same challenges - I just run pure angus herd over the South Pol…..but they intrigue me.
I think clipping is the right move in that context. Id say the only caveat would be if you can't afford the fuel. Seems like it's a long term investment though, the pasture should slowly move in the right direction.
I don't know if I have enough cows to be considered hi density just because I can't make my paddocks small enough without creating undo stress on me and the cows. However, I am rotating daily. The first time through I didn't mow behind it. The second time I did. All I did was clip the tops off. I have got a good bit of rain and the grass came back better and I think it really helps.
