Multi Species Grazing

[@beefreeagro8307]

Very interesting video, I've been working with sheep and cattle , for over five years and it works great.

[@PainterP]

Excellent range of information. Much appreciated.

[@lkhfun6575]

This video popped up in my Recommended List again and I watched it again. My thumbs up is still active so I will comment: It is informative, concise, and even a little inspiring. Nice video.

Of course, some feeding behaviors are learned, and not simply innate. For instance, a couple horses that lived with a herd of dairy goats learned to browse multiflora rose, among other woody species, from the goats. The horses did not typically take an entire branch of multiflora rose into their mouths as they goats often did, but tended to eat the leaves and softer growing tips. Due to their size, they typically consumed multiflora rose and other woody plants above the browse line created by the goats. It has been observed that among species like cattle, those that are raised by their dams in diverse pastures will more readily consume a wider range of plants than cattle raised either on improved pastures, or hand raised cattle, such as dairy calves. Even with a species, learned behavior apparently plays a role.

So the more the merrier ,excellent work ,

Incredible presentation especially awesome graphics!

[@klaunchb1]

Glad you found it useful. The presentation doesn't give many specific guidelines, but should give you a framework on which to start experimenting.

[@hhwippedcream]

@@klaunchb1 The triangle of grazing stock and native herbivores was especially helpful!

[@heaveningearth]

Where might Pig, Turkey, Duck + Chicken fall on the triangle?

[@bearfamilyfarm4434]

An interesting talk, thanks for sharing!

[@curly-hairedcountrygal1275]

Very helpful, thank you! I'd like to rotationally graze a milking cow and sheep or goat with kunekune (pastured) pigs-- have you heard of or seen this done? Thank you!

[@klaunchb1]

yes - multi-species grazing is certainly a great tool. Glad you are honing your skill.

[@michaelripperger5674]

Following those with pasture chickens would be even better. Chickens will break the pest cycles

[@foome36]

True, however I feel like rotational grazing seems not to be adressed in this talk.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Yes, but Karen Launchbaugh addresses grazing plans in separate videos.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Could you please confirm the protective effect of co-grazing horses with sheep and/or goats? We have seen this effect for decades, but someone close to us is currently in the position of defending multi-species management (grazing, and bale grazing in winter) to the State. Thank you, Karen, for your excellent presentations on various aspects of grazing!

[@Knowledge_Wisdom_Truth]

Which state if you don’t mind telling? Thanks

[@lukkassuhn6761]

So this is why cattle are called slow elk

[@jamesanderson677]

For example, grazing short-duration non-selectively high-density; Rabbits, Quail, Chickens, Ducks, Geese, Guinea, Turkey, Sheep, Goats, Cattle, Deer..what would be the best livestock groupings and sequence to graze..for maximum soil impact and minimal exposure to parasites ?

[@hhwippedcream]

It depends on where, probably. I'd also like to see a few examples of contexts and the combos that perform well.

[@IslandZsurvivor]

thank you for the video

[@galenhaugh3158]

Ah, yes, ternary diagrams!!

[@galenhaugh3158]

Deer don't eat much grass--look at your diagram.

[@Digger927]

That triangle chart makes no sense at all.

[@Tony-Blake]

Really? I thought it was very helpful.

Hi Brent!
