Northwest Missouri Grazing School 2016
Apr 20, 2016 | Agriculture |
Management intensive grazing (also known as rotational grazing management) is a system where grazing is managed for both the benefit of the livestock and forage. Livestock graze in each pasture long enough to harvest the forage, but are removed before too much leaf area is consumed. A basic system may have four or five pastures while a more management intensive system will have eight to 10 pastures.
The single most important management factor in determining the profitability of a livestock operation is keeping feed cost low. So why buy forage when you can grow high quality feed yourself through a management intensive grazing system?
