One of the biggest perks of our new place? 34 acres of pasture for our animals to graze on! While 34 acres might not sound huge, with the right approach, it can be incredibly productive.

We’re putting rotational grazing into practice—a method that involves dividing the land into paddocks using hotwire and existing fences. By rotating our animals through these sections and allowing each paddock time to recover (based on the season, rainfall, and pasture type), we can prevent overgrazing and encourage rich, healthy forage growth.

This means healthier animals and ultimately better-quality, tastier meat.

It does take more hands-on management—like frequently checking which plants are being eaten and how fast—but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Done right, rotational grazing can make land far more productive than you'd expect!
