If there's water and fertility grass (especially orchardgrass) will start to regrow in 12 hours. If you can divide that pasture further and move animals every 2 days, or more often if possible, I bet you'd be surprised how much more you get out of it.
I don't doubt it for a minute, but there's a law of diminishing returns on this kind of rough ground. All of these fences go through a floodplain and get ripped out every time it floods. The labor required to move a fence throughout the grazing season on this kind of ground would be substantial bordering impossible considering the trees, swamps, and hills. I think what I have going right now is pretty much the sweet spot for my place in terms of increased production vs. extra labor.

Intensive/rotational grazing stocking rate increase?
