County Agent urges rotation grazing to boost forage. Divide a 30 acre ladino orchard grass field into 5 or 6 sections, graze each for 4 to 8 days, and use electric fencing. Clip pastures after cows are off to speed regrowth and reduce costs. Sudan grass offers good midsummer forage with late planting and strong drought tolerance.
