It is best for pasture growth in not just dairy farming, but in the raising of beef cattle, sheep, goats and even horses. It provides the necessary hoof action, grazing pressure, fertilizer (in the form of urine and feces), and significant rest periods to encourage good grass growth. It also is a system where one pasture is divided up into at least five paddocks so that cattle can be rotated anywhere from a few times a week to several times a day, depending on how many head are being grazed and how big the paddocks are. This system ensures that the whole pasture area is being utilized by the grazing animals instead of certain areas of an entire pasture which can be overgrazed or undergrazed--which can cause overgrazing, and which can quickly deteroate pasture quality.

How many animals are limited to go on a farm?
That really depends on the size of the farm itself and how much feed or pasture it has available. Most people judge how many animals they can have by how much pasture is available to a certain number of animals without encouraging overgrazing, especially with grazing animals like sheep, goats, cattle and horses. The main rule of thumb to follow is the smaller the farm, the smaller number of animals allowed. The larger the farm, the more animals the can be had. Also, the more feed or pasture that can be made available, especially with rotational grazing, the more animals a person can own on their farm. For optimal stocking rates or stocking densities for your area, please contact your local county extension office or provincial/state agricultural information center or website.
