Rotational grazing can help improve productivity, weight gain per acre, and overall net return to the farm. Rotational grazing allows for better manure distribution that acts as a source of nutrients to the soil (University of Kentucky Extension).
See firsthand a rotational grazing operation and learn how you can implement rotational grazing practices in your operation.
