Second grazing onwards

Maintain consistent residuals - new pasture grows rapidly and needs frequent grazing.

Monitor weeds.

Let pastures get too long.

Make heavy hay or silage crops in the first season.

First winter

Apply N before soil drops below 8⁰C or before become too wet.

Pug new pasture - keep off young pastures in wet conditions.

First summer

Be gentle on new pastures.

If dry, keep grazing light, leaving at least 2-3 cm residual.

Overgraze.

Restock new pasture too early after dry spells - let it recover and build its reserves.
