I typically run my grazing charts from April of one year through March of the next year. That means there’s no time like the present for you to download your 2014 grazing charts and get going. Pick the one you think will work the best for you, or download them all and then make up your mind. Once you have the one you want, take it to your local copy/print shop on a jump drive and ask them to print out a larger version for you. It’s generally 32″ x 24″, depending on how small you can read (and write) or how small you want to. The printing generally doesn’t cost too much, and is well worth it.

Not sure how to get started? We’ve published some great articles on the process you can use to make your grazing chart work for you. Here they are, so that you don’t have to search for them. (Nice how you can get ahold of everything you need in one place, right?)

Hi. This question came in from a reader. If you have an answer, could you please post it? Thank you!
“Some of the producers I work with are interested in a good, easy to use method of keeping grazing records. Simple but useful is the key. Ideally, the data could be entered into an app and transferred to an excel spreadsheet.
Do you know if something like this exists?”
My choice is the plain grazing chart (http://onpasture.com/2014/03/03/get-your-free-2014-grazing-charts-now/)
