The health and profitability of grass-based livestock begins with
the food they eat. In Managing Pasture, author Dale Strickler
guides farmers and ranchers through the practical and ideological
considerations behind caring for the land as a key part of running
a successful grass-based operation, from the profitability of
replacing expensive grain feed with nutrient-rich native grasses to
the benefits of ecologically-minded land management. In-depth
examinations of the biology and benefits of grazing plants and
different grazing strategies accompany detailed plans for paddock
and fencing set-ups, livestock watering, and effective methods for
dealing with common pasture problems throughout the seasons, from
mud to drought. For readers invested in pasture improvement
strategies that offer environmental benefits beyond better meat and
dairy, including carbon sequestration, erosion prevention,
increased pollinator resources and wildlife habitat, and improved
water quality, Managing Pasture is an approachable, accessible
guide to creating and caring for the grassland that feeds animals
and future generations.
