Topping for lateral growth?

[Achinghips]

Im interested in what others do as I'm at the stage where whatever decision I make is six of one and half a dozen of the other .... At what height would you top the grass for thickening the sward? Or do you just graze and overseed? Or do you leave it get long to self seed? Grazing land, not hay cutting land, btw.

I am a big fan of topping I cut to about two inches or so .

We do all three. Sparse or bare areas are over seeded, longer grass is topped as necessary and we always leave some parts to seed naturally then use for autumn grazing.
