Thank you Julius for the great responses. We have time, so implementing pasture rotation seems like the best option for us. I put your book on my Amazon wish list and will be ordering it soon. I look forward to sharing the book with my grandpa, who is currently caring for the land.

Hi Julius,
Pasture restorations is on my mind as well. My family has about 150 acres in central Oklahoma with about 2 dozen head of cattle on it. Some of the fields are becoming overrun with weeds and produce poorer quality hay/forage each year. When my wife and I take over the day to day operations (in the not too distant future) the first thing we want to do is restore the soil. Over the past 30 years the land has never been tilled and has never been fertilized. So the soil is in no doubt suffering from having 30 years worth of cow food taken from it with nothing returned. Where do we even begin? Our long term plan for the farm is to move away from cattle and into vegetables, fruits and nuts. Perhaps after reading your book we will do both
