Last reviewed: December 2025
Rotational grazing systems, pasture renovation, and management consulting for grazing dairy operations.
Pasture management encompasses rotational grazing systems, paddock design, species selection, fertility management, and renovation. Good management can double pasture productivity compared to continuous grazing.
Managed intensive rotational grazing (MIRG) involves frequent moves to fresh paddocks, allowing rest and regrowth. Infrastructure includes fencing, water systems, and laneways.
Consultants can assist with system design, species selection, and management training. Many extension programs offer grazing resources and farm tours.
