Differences and profitability
Continuous grazing means paying the required overhead in haying equipment and hay.
Rotational and Mob grazing both can achieve the same results of improving higher efficiencies and so can more than double stocking rates. The higher profits come in when you've improved your land enough to feed them nearly all year round without having to buy much hay. You can get by on a few bales or none – usually only having to provide in emergencies of inclement ice storms or blizzards, where the underlying grass is completely inaccessible for several days or more.
The few comparative studies out there really haven't produced an accurate comparison between simple rotational grazing and high-density (mob) grazing. They both work, once you master them. Overall, they seem to produce the same improvement of grazing efficiency and higher returned profit.
The difference between these two methods is in what grazing density you set your “stocking rate” to.
