Abstract
- This article discusses strategies for maximizing the productivity of grazing lands. The author, who has been pasturing beef cattle on 40 acres since 1989, shares their experiences and techniques for improving pasture output and animal health. The key practice of rotational grazing, which involves moving animals to different sections of pasture to allow for recovery, is highlighted as one of the most effective means of pasture optimization. Other strategies discussed include pasture clipping, soil fertility management, and the use of watering systems. The article also touches on the benefits of frost seeding and the concept of custom grazing. Overall, the author emphasizes the importance of managing pastures as a crop and offers practical advice for achieving optimal results. [Extracted from the article]
