7:31Now PlayingStop letting your grass turn into "cardboard"! In this session of Cattle Grazing Management, regenerative farmer Joel Salatin breaks down the most foundational concept in grazing: the S-curve, or Sigmoid curve. Grass growth is not constant; it starts slow, accelerates fast, and then enters senescence. Learn why continuous grazing limits your field's potential and how proper management helps you leverage the grass's magnificent physiological expression. The entire idea is to maximize the conversion of sunbeams into biomass.
Key Takeaways:
- The S-curve (Sigmoid curve) illustrates that grass growth constantly changes, accelerating before it slows down and deteriorates.
- Continuous grazing keeps grass in the slow-growth "diaper" stage, preventing it from becoming a high-growth "solar panel".
- Grazing management is the control mechanism used to leverage the S-curve and keep plants in their fastest growth stage.
