Creating an effective grazing system is crucial for enhancing productivity, supporting animal health, and maintaining long-term farm sustainability. A thoughtfully designed system prevents overgrazing and encourages better plant regrowth. By managing grazing patterns, farmers can provide sheep and goats with high-quality forage, which boosts their nutrition, health, and overall performance. Additionally, rotating animals between paddocks helps reduce parasite loads. Producers will learn how to effectively manage their pasture for overall productivity.
