When Do You Graze On New Pasture Field?

Do not graze on the pastures until they are well-established and have developed a strong root system; otherwise the plants will be pulled out of the soil and the soil may be compacted by the livestock.

The first grazing, which should be light, is done two to three months after the seed has germinated. Light grazing allows the grass to develop more shoots so that the legumes are not shaded by the grass.
