The article explains rotation deferred grazing as a planned system to rest pastures and improve rangeland. It argues deferred grazing yields higher forage quality, allows grasses to store food and regain vigor, and enables more livestock to be supported over time. It outlines that several rotation-deferred systems exist and the most popular types use continued patterns.
Grazing systems can be two three or four pastures with each getting at least ninety deferment days. Pasture size need not be equal but capacity should be similar. While setup may require fences or pipelines the long term profit from a planned rotation deferral system offsets these costs. For more information contact Gillespie County Soil and Water Conservation District officials.
