Managing and caring for the forage plants growing in pastures is probably one of the most important aspects of managing property for landowners. Livestock owners may know how to take care of their animals, but quite often do not fully understand how to manage the plants that comprise their pastures. Caring for the fertility of the soil, forage plants, and the management of weeds is as important as caring for the animals that feed on it. Limited grazing heights, times plus allowing long rest and regrowth periods are critical to plant health.<\/p>\n<\/div>
