Pastures are mainly made up of grass
and clover plants.

The plants use energy from the sun to grow, through a process
called photosynthesis
In pasture, there are always two processes taking place. New leaves are being produced by plants (growth) and old leaves are dying and rotting away (decay). The difference between the rates of growth and decay is what we measure as the pasture growth rate.
Grazing management is the use of stock to manage growth and decay, to influence pasture growth rate and pasture quality.
