Grazing livestock is the most cheapest way of feeding livestock any producer can come up with. Grass is cheap--not to mention free, if you already own some land--and it's worth making use of as much as possible as often as possible. Just be careful not to overuse it--as on overgraze it--because you may end up with less grass than more over time.
Other reasons people choose to graze their animals include the following:
- To shorten winter feeding period (feed, such as hay, grain and silage is expensive, as is fuel to run the tractor every day or second day in the middle of winter)
- To improve soil fertility and nutrient level
- Reduce feed costs (see above)
- Reduce amount of feed needed to feed an animal, regardless of species, age, size, gender or type (see above)
- Conserve native grasslands that perform best with optimum grazing pressure from grazing animals
- Conserve native animal specie populations such as elk, grouse and other animals by grazing in wintering grounds or nesting grounds before such animals come in to make use of such areas for their own survival and encourage propogation of their own species
- Improve or maintain biodiversity of riparian and wetland areas with short and brief grazing periods during dry periods to minimize as much damage to such areas as possible.
