Two types of hay are generally available to the horse owner : Seeds hay – cut from specially sown grass leys.... Meadow hay – cut from permanent pasture. This [hay] will contain whatever was growing at the time, often a wide variety of grasses and broad-leaved plants, some of which may be toxic. Opinion varies as to which is better for horses, but meadow hay has more variety and if hay forms the main bulk of an animal' s diet throughout the winter it is more likely to fulfil nutritional requirements than hay made from a single grass species.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - meadow%20hay

For the last three or so years a variant of strip grazing called block grazing has been used with both cows and sheep particularly when going through the winter using a slow rotation. Obviously if the length of rotation is say 40 days; then extra subdivision is needed since the average number of permanent paddocks on most dairy farms is only about 15-20. The extra subdivision is accomplished by using electric fences, but the main feature of the block grazing system is that the areas should be as square as possible. This discourages the cows from aimless walking up and down the fence line which does occur with along narrow strip, and so reduces trampling damage and waste of grass. p. 214, Pastures & Pasture Plants 1973.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - block%20grazing
