Pasture & grazing

Organic rule: at least 30% of dry-matter intake from pasture across a 120-day minimum grazing season. PASTURE tracks both and projects season-end compliance.

Rain Thursday — pull Pen 2 off Creek Bottom

Creek Bottom has only 4 rest days and saturated sod tears under hooves. PASTURE suggests East Ridge (26d rest, 2,810 lbs DM/ac) for Pen 2 through the weekend.
