A rancher manages 30,000 acres by moving cows to specific patches of weeds for a week at a time. After eight days, the herd returns to the same area on its own, showing how simple placement decisions can guide grazing patterns across a massive ranch.
So, a little bunch of cows that I come and check on once a week when I'm in town, just to kind of keep an eye on them and trying to do a little bit of holistic type grazing on this on a once-a-week deal. And these cows are on 60,000 acres— or 60 sections, roughly 30,000 acres. And holes are all in all the inside fences. They can go wherever they want. Last week I placed them right in here on this patch of weeds, and 8 days later they're all right here. So change up your stockmanship a little bit and you can get them to doing this. Makes it easy.
