Our pasture's carrying capacity tripled in five years - that's like buying two more pastures! We practice managed rotational grazing as you recommend & 0 -2 well-timed mowings, and add a little lime. Manure is spread naturaly by the grazing animals except in winter. The winter bedding pack is composted & spread. On our land, a heavy spreading rate gives the best results. Almost no grain, just forages and minerals - which enrich the land via the manure.
