I'm trying to get an idea of how to rest some pastures so they've maybe had a year off from grazing before we go back to them with cattle. After having lots of grasshoppers the last couple years it seemed like the pasture that had lots of old grass to start the year weren't hit as hard by the hoppers but I can't quite get my head around where to get started with a grazing system. We're basically moderately stocked with 3 or 4 pastures per bunch with one for calving then cows are turned to another in summer then another late fall/winter currently and try to leave plenty of grass left over to get a good start the next year.
