Answer:

Continuous or rotational grazing?

Historically, continuous grazing has been the most popular grazing system since it is simple and requires little labor. Grazing pressure is adjusted by adding or subtracting animals or temporarily fencing off areas for hay harvest. However, continuous grazing is a land extensive system, and low production of gain per hectare makes it inefficient. In contrast, rotational grazing can dramatically increase animal performance and forage DM yield per hectare. In heifer feeding systems, intensive rotational grazing systems are probably not as important. Improvements in nutrient quality of forage accrued from more daily movement of fences or shifting heifers to new paddocks daily do not offset the labor and fencing expense and convenient provision of water. Many heifer growing systems include some combination of both continuous and rotational systems. A continuously grazed paddock may be used to house animals during the winter or during periods of drought to enable other areas to recover forage growth. Other paddocks are designed to enable movement of fences on less frequent interval of 3–14 days.
