GRAZING MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY PASTURES During the season of maximum grass growth the problem on dairy farms is to control pastures at their most leafy, nutritious stage. This is best achieved, says the Department of Agriculture, by conserving all growth surplus to requirements as silage and hay. Later in the season it is important to maintain sufficient pasture cover to ensure growth during the dry, summer period. As grass growth declines the period in which paddocks are spelled between grazings should gradually be increased and as much silage as the cows will clean up should be fed out.
