Rotational grazing is a management system where livestock are moved periodically between different pasture areas (paddocks) to optimize forage utilization and improve animal and pasture health. The primary purpose is to enhance both the productivity and sustainability of grazing operations.
Grazing various types of livestock on our pastures adds valuable nutrients to the soil, keeping the plants in a healthy state and eliminating the need for fertilizers. Doing so also builds life and organic matter in the soil, which then captures large amounts of carbon, allowing rainwater to infiltrate and be retained in the soil. This reduces runoff from our farm, retaining the valuable resources needed in the ecosystem.
