Another great example of how grazing saves time and money!
We implemented intensive rotational grazing on this area to kill off broomstraw.
Benefits here are as follows:
– This area was cut just twice in 2024
– Only once with string trimmers, the pictures below are before the trimming crew ran through.
Literally ran… there’s nothing to cut!
– Fire prevention, using the intensive method, the sheep trampled the broom straw under the panels, preventing a fire hazard that was previously controlled with trimming and herbicide.
Next step going into 2025 is get lime applications in and broadcast the local seed mix to choke out remaining weeds and establish a nice edible ground cover to replace said weeds.
