What are the Different Types of Rotational Grazing? 

The different types of rotational grazing include: 

Simple Grazing- This is the traditional way to do rotational grazing. Have a set schedule to rotate cattle into a new area. 

Intensive rotational grazing- This type of rotational grazing involves the use of electric fencing in the paddocks and using very small sections for the cattle. The goal is to replenish the land in a short amount of time, while the traditional way may take longer.  

Benefits of Rotational Grazing 

• Improve soil health– The soil has time to rest and replenish nutrients back into plants.  
• Improve grass and plant health– Grass has the chance to recover and grow, while plants have a chance to deepen their root systems. 
• Improves animal health– Animals get fresh plants and grass to graze each time they switch paddocks.  

Make Sure Your Cattle Have Access to Water 

The other thing to think of while using this technique is to make sure your cattle have water! There are several ways of doing this, depending how large of an area you are working with.  

My best recommendation is to have troughs of water in each area. To keep a steady pulse on where your water levels are, I would advise a Trough Xtend to each of them. This way, you can monitor each trough, right from the palm of your hand. That’s one less thing you have to worry about while keeping your cattle and land healthy.
