Holistic Planned Grazing Chart for Livestock Management

Holistic Planned Grazing Chart for Livestock Management
In this video, Ranch Manager & Land Steward Donna Kilpatrick explains the benefits of following a Holistic Planned Grazing Chart for Heifer USA's livestock management enterprises. This year's chart shows the leader-follower grazing (a form of multispecies grazing) we're implementing with sheep and cattle. If you're interested in Holistic Planned Grazing or rotational grazing, check out this video!

Glad it was helpful!

[@FulbrightFarmstead]

Trying to learn all I can, thank you!

[@HeiferUSA]

You got this!

[@nanateali1038]

thanks, God bless you dear, that was very interesting information, I will try to use that on my small farm

[@HeiferUSA]

that's awesome!

[@troybishoppthegrasswhisper3703]

Excellent! Thank you

[@HeiferUSA]

You are welcome!

[@WellGrazed]

I cannot believe this information is free and still less than 8k views. I am in Northwest Arkansas and plan to build my own system with Savory's planning methods. Hopefully I'll visit your farm one day!

I think the dogs if they were only with the cows first maybe could learn to protect the cows as well, then you could combine your sheep and cattle herd.

[@HeiferUSA]

That's a good idea!

you guys showed a clip of steers grazing an area planted with pine/evergreens, could sheep also graze that? or would the eat the young trees? thank you for the tips and another great video!!!!

[@HeiferUSA]

Thanks for the compliments yooper! We graze our sheep in those same pastures on occasion. The pines are far enough along, and there is plenty of other forages available to where we don't have to worry about them eating the trees.

[@yoopermann7942]

@@HeiferUSA thank you, i am trying to get a lease on a parcel of ground so ican get into the grazing business, again thank you guys for the videos

[@pcdreams1]

I realize this video is a couple years old now. Is there still a Savory training there? Can you point me to the info if there is.

[@HeiferUSA]

Yes sir. Send us an email and let us know how we can help

[@Spiked2005]

Is the chart available? Do you use soil analysis to help determine pasture rotation and seed type for cover crop?

[@HeiferUSA]

Hi Jim, the chart is made available through the Savory Institute for students in their educational program. It may be publicly available as well, we are not sure. Try reaching out to them to see perhaps. We absolutely use multiple methods of soil, ecosystems, and biodiversity analysis to determine rotation schedules and cover crops.

[@Spiked2005]

I thought it was recommended not to use another animal on pasture that was just grazed for at least 3-4 days?

[@HeiferUSA]

It depends on a variety of factors. Our methods work well for our farm. So we do what works!
