Effective Grazing Management

Make the most of your farm's grazing

Grazing1SQUARE   Grazing2SQUARE   Grazing3SQUARE  


Grazed grass is the cheapest source of forage on most farm. To get the best out of grass it needs to be managed with an ‘arable mentality’; feeding it properly and utilising it in a way that minimises waste.  In practice most swards can produce grass of 12 ME in May but management affects the rest of the season. Where swards are allowed to deteriorate quality falls quickly. With effective sward management an ME of 11 MJ and above can be maintained throughout the season.
 

This Workshop will help you:

  • Plan your grazing requirements
  • Carry out effective sward appraisals
  • Monitor growth and quality
  • Manage your grazing efficiently
  • Take a flexible approach to supplementing cows at grass
