Last month we started talking about planning this year’s grazing season. We started with links to free grazing charts provided by Troy Bishopp and the National Grazing Lands Coalition, along with instructions on how to get started using them. Then, Tom Krawiec pitched in with great tips for increasing forage and extending the grazing season by grazing in the sweet spot. If you haven’t had a chance to download Tom’s free ebook on grazing in the sweet spot, I highly recommend it.
This week, we’re continuing to get ready for the grazing season. Let’s start with two questions we should ask ourselves from time to time: What am I doing, and why am I doing it? Troy breaks down big-picture goals and grazing goals to help you think about your own operation.
Before You Graze, Know Your Goals: What Are You Doing? Why Are You Doing It?
You might also want some local assistance with your planning and prep for this grazing season. Here’s where you can find folks ready to help.
Troy has also written a whole set of articles on how to use your grazing charts and put together the information you need to be successful. Check them out here:
