Rotational Grazing

We move our herd to fresh grass daily, setting up temporary paddocks within our larger fields. In the photo on the left, you can see how clean and even the grass is after it has been grazed.Pictured below is the difference in a paddock before/after the cattle have grazed it. The bottom picture shows some of the herd in a new section of pasture.

  1. I think it's especially great that you photograph pastures; I do graphics for a nonprofit (www.holisticmanagement.org) that promotes rotational grazing, and often ranchers and farmers (very understandably!) can't find the time to take photographs

  2. Thanks Scott! That is a wonderful website...many of your featured experts are people whose books and lectures got us started!
