Just a quick reminder to everyone not to overgraze your summer paddocks before changing to winter ones or you will damage your spring growth esp as growth is slowing right down now. (If that’s how you manage it all). Remember the motto, leave it to the height of a beer bottle on its side or more. That way you will have nice strong root systems for the winter ... and you will avoid the dreaded moss killing everything off too come springtime and getting in the way of your germination. Note below, first pic crap and overgrazed before moving off, second pic, perfect time to move off. First pic will give me a headache in spring, moss and clover will set in and no grass, just look at the bare bits too ready for weed seeds.
Second pic leaves me smug and insufferable, it will require a mow in spring to encourage tillering. Note also as an aside, the faint yellowish tinge in second pic, indicating nitrogen deficiency, completely normal at this time of year and once mowed to tiller, the cuttings will feed the ground ... second pic they were taken off two weeks ago.
