Howd the mowing work last year while we were in a pretty severe drought? Seems like tightening them down, and turning that grass into protein rather than burning dinosaurs would be a better option, use the power of the hoof..?(to trample that bad stuff and set it back that way)

Last year we didn’t clip till the Fall to keep soil temp surface good bc we knew it would jump back. It’s also part of our rye grass seeding regiment so timing worked out. While mob trampling does work we don’t use it bc of our rain fall combined with our soil type combined with several other factors within our context. I’d rather strategically burn dinosaurs than kill myself and get hit by huge opportunity costs. Every farm is different and all of these methods are simply tools in the toolbox to use when appropriate

Instead of the mower put them cattle in on high density. You will leave better ground for all prairie birds. You pointed that at me but I have been in the business of restoring prairie for 30 years. The only one that can pen raise quail and turkey and when turn loose have a 75 plus percent survival rate. But that's because they are incubator Hatcher and brooder raised.

Respectfully your years of experience are irrelevant to our context. A major problem with the “sustainability world” is that folks over burden themselves with perfection and conditions set by others leading to burnout, failed businesses, failed relationships, and an empty bank account. We do what works for our time, resources, schedule, personal life, environment, etc. For those seeing this comment thread do your best every day and incrementally improve everyday. Don’t compare yourself to others but focus on making your situation better

@@grantestrade8062 my experience is very much relevant. Know your very well spend about 3 months a year on projects there. Doesn't matter area gulf cost or the desserts of Arizona and Mexico the same principle applies. In never set any conditions other than mob them cattle and goats the same as you do the chickens. Then you don't need that brush hog and go into regenerative ag. Empty bank accounts come from unneeded tractor payments and repairs. Number one reason for ranch failure. You jumped one I don't own a tractor yet a field that size would say 20 acres you walk across and you will jump 50. The mobbed cattle will improve soil fast and open the grass up so all grassland birds came easily move. I have yet to just say quail I have sead all grass land birds. From the tiny nuthatch to the turkey

​@@Andrew-sanders Dude, at least read the second part of the first sentence if he answers you... Experience is dependent on the context in which it is gained; your experience is not necessarily transferable to his context. But even if it were, he is obviously knowledgeable and engaged. There are millions of people who need your 'experience' more.
