Dual Use Improves Pasture Grazing Yields
Ohio researchers at the Agricultural Research and Development Center find companion grazing of sheep and cattle yields higher total gains per acre than cattle alone. In a three pasture rotational system, six sheep to one steer produced 346 pounds per acre, three to one produced 344, and one to one produced 312. The study credits sheep grazing efficiency and weed control for the gains.
