Maintaining Forage Quality by Intensive Pasture Management
A speech by E. Ann Clark. (Includes a picture of her!) Variation in the nutritional value of pasture herbage has been identified as a key limitation to consistent, high levels of dairy cow performance on pasture.
Headquarters of GRAZE-L
With a photo of that well know Internet personality: Noel Bridgeman. GRAZE-L is an International Forum for the Discussion of Intensive Rotational Grazing and Seasonal Dairying - developed by Noel Bridgeman (Taranaki Polytechnic) and Michele Gale-Sinex (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences - UW Madison)
I believe Graze-L will be a major factor in renewing the USA dairy industry. Please contribute information or provocative questions to GRAZE-L.

Thousands of Bites per Day
This PENpages articles greatly changed the way I think about cows and grazing. Grass density and width of muzzle may be far, far more important than we previously thought. Here is a quote to tickle your interest: The rate of biting for dairy cows is in the range 55-65/minutes. An Australian researcher suggested that the maximum number of bites a Jersey cow could take per day was 36,000 - a cow grazing at 60 bites/minute for 510 minutes would take 30,600 bites in a day.

Marvin Hall on forages
Who is Marvin Hall? I don't know, but if you search PENpages using his name, you will find a lot of good stuff about forages.
