One of the things that Eric and Julie Neill and their sons, Carter and Callaway, Freeman, Mo., learned in their first year of running a seasonal dairy farm is that grazing beef cows is nothing like grazing dairy cows.
Eric Neill describes what they had been doing with beef cows as the college level of grass management. Grazing dairy cows is more like the grad school level of rotational grazing. Grazing dairy cows takes a lot more management than grazing beef cows.
