Forage Management Unit for Adults Lesson 5: Management of Grazing Systems

Direction and Purpose to: Understand the benefits of various grazing systems Understand the steps necessary for proper implementation

Grazing Systems Compare and contrast various grazing management systems Short duration grazing Rotational grazing Management Intensive Grazing (MIG)

Management Strategies Challenges more time required at initial setup more initial cost incurred Opportunities can produce more livestock on same acreage can produce higher quality forage Variety of plant species is key to a successful grazing system.

Evaluation of Pasture Condition Use Grazier’s ArithmeticGrazier’s Arithmetic Use Rules of ThumbRules of Thumb Follow Words of WisdomWords of Wisdom Understand the Keys to Successful GrazingKeys to Successful Grazing

Stocking Rates & Rotations Grazing distribution Number of head of livestock Length of time in paddocks Number of paddocks needed for particular number & class of livestock

Fencing Systems Plan system for intensive grazing Estimate costs Select wire fencing materials Construction of fence Shock collars for cattle???

Watering Systems All-weather concrete stock tank Mira-Founts Ponds Streams

Livestock Nutritional Considerations Net Energy Availability Mineral Supplementation Peak Nutritional Needs

Cow Nutritional Needs Cool Season forage growth Warm Season forage growth

Improving Pasture Stand Yield & Quality Plant diversity Fertility Management Mechanical Methods Dragging Pastures Brushcutting

Government Aid Available Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC)

Conclusions Be familiar with various types of grazing systems Be aware of benefits from each grazing system Understand management strategies for forages and livestock

continued… Be familiar with the various fencing and watering requirements with each grazing system Understand government programs available for aid in establishment of grazing systems
