"The investigation of nature is an infinite pasture-ground
where all may graze, and where the more bite,
the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor,
and the more it nourishes."
~Aldous Huxley

COMMON PASTURE PROBLEMS:
FACTORS FOR SUCCESSFUL PASTURE
Tips for a Successful Grazing Program
- Eliminate continuous season long grazing.
- Corral livestock and feed them hay/pellets until your pasture grasses are 6" to 8" high. Remove animals when 50% of the avaliable forage has been eaten (3" remain).
- Do not regraze until grasses are at least 6" tall (will take 3 to 4 weeks on irrigated pasture).
- During the winter non-grazing period, hold animals in a corral.
- Allow long rest periods to rejuvenate pastures in poor conditions.
- Provide a water source for each pasture.
- Irrigate eash pasture immediately after grazing to stimulate regrowth and avoid hoof compaction on wet soils.
- Horses do not need continuous access to pasture. Their nutritional needs can be met with only a few housrs of grazing on a good pasture. Corrall animals for the remainder of the day to preven over grazing of plants and avoid excess trampling of vegetation.
- On limited acreage, you may have only enough pasture to exercise your animals and will need to feed year-round.
