“Proper grazing management requires an understanding of what makes plants grow, how plants respond to grazing, how much of the plant to graze at any given time, how many animals to place on an area for a given length of time, how to provide for animals through the seasons, how the animal digests and converts the forage into animal product, and, most of all, how to juggle all these factors in a way that can make money.” – Dale Strickler
Our newest Regen Reads recommendation is “Managing Pasture” by Dale Strickler.
We recently shared a new Livestock Integration resource from our Regenerative Organic Hub. We hope you enjoy reading about the experiences, insights, and advice of ROO farmers on the topic of incorporating livestock in a regenerative organic system within that resource! If you’re keen to learn even more about livestock integration, you’ll be happy to hear about this month’s related Regen Read – “Managing Pasture” by Dale Strickler.
In “Managing Pasture”, Dale shares in-depth but approachable insights on how to care for the land in a way that supports healthy and profitable livestock while also providing environmental benefits like preventing erosion, supporting pollinators, providing wildlife habitat and sequestering carbon. With the capacity to do all this, it’s easy to see why the detailed ideas shared by Dale can help farmers feel like they’re able to unlock pasture’s superpowers!
