Close Grazing
Harmful To Pasture
Excessive, close grazing will ruin lush pasture land, says R. C. Connelly,, dairy specialist at VPI.
He' explains that grass and legumes must maintain reasonably Tong blades and stems to 'build up their root reserves. Otherwise the plants weaken and weeds eventually take over the pasture.
However, if the soil is well fertilized nad has a backlog of plant food, and when damp weather favors rapid growth, dairymen may let cattle graze the pasture closely, and then rotate them to another pasture, Connelly said.
An occasional feeding on young growth also may be allowed in pastures cropped to certain plants. Those that can stand close, grazing now and then are ordinary .white clover, orchard grass, and bluegrass.
Crops which can stand the least close grazing are alfalfa, tall meadow oat grass, and alts ferfcue.
