Standard Work on Pasture Management

The latest results from pasture research, consulting, and practical cattle farming are compiled in this standard work. Whether for dairy or beef cattle farming, anyone looking to fully utilize the potential of their pastures must refer to this book. For efficient pasture management, a site-adapted pasture plant composition is the most important foundation. The book explains why this differs from conventional hay meadow compositions and guides readers through essential management practices such as overseeding, fertilization, and pasture maintenance. Valuable and desirable pasture plants are presented with images, the advantages and disadvantages of traditional as well as new pasture systems and strategies are outlined, and the varying site requirements for these are described. Topics such as fence construction, drive path establishment, and pasture-milking systems are also covered.
