If working the land is difficult you might want to run chain harrow before weeds go to seed with your truck .Trust me keeping a good pasture is an art.

Dear friend the idea of multi-species grazing is a very good idea yet you have two animals that are fairly picky. Put a few sheep in that paddock and you will see how efficent things turn.After seeing your operation I would suggest you try strip grazing.You can use electrical netting $120/150 ft.or just simple wire strands. you need to keep fallow pasture or once in a while (every 4 years) renew your pasture. If you have a wet winter you might want to pasture poultry and reseed in fall.

Interesting video. Glad to see your using a common-use grazing system, as it does aid in pasture production. I would me more concerned about bloat in your cows with them eating clover, as I know there's more a problem with cattle bloating on clover than on alfalfa. But if they have grass mixed with the clover and a bit of roughage to aid in digestion, they'll still be alright.
Thanks for sharing your take on pasture management! :D

Julius Ruechel, in Grass Fed Cattle, suggests adding seed of whatever you want to grow in your pasture, to your cattle mineral supplement. The seeds don't get digested and end up in the manure wich provides an excellent environment for the seed to take root. Thanks for sharing your progress.

Thank you for you informative comment.

I would suggest Google-ing Joel Salatin. He has been playing with intensive pasture management for a while and has found a great system for breaking pasture into paddocks, then following the cattle with chickens. Chickens scatter cow patties in search of fly maggots. Also, Stockman Grass Farmer has some good articles.
Love the videos!

Thank you for your supportive comment. We know a little about Joel Salatin. His farm is near where will and he has an open house once a year but we have not been able to attend. We are also looking at this website 12aprils. The guy who bought the last cow we sold told us about it. 12aprils stands for plating a different forage 12 months a year. it is an interesting subject to us but we just haven't had the time and resources to properly get into it.
