Sobre IBD

Pasture, Hay, and Rotational Grazing is a practical guide to growing more livestock feed, extending the grazing season, reducing purchased hay, and making better use of the land already available. It explains how to evaluate forage, understand soil tests, estimate carrying capacity honestly, and design a rotational grazing system that fits a small homestead.Readers learn how to plan paddocks, place water, use temporary electric fencing, judge turn-in and residual heights, frost-seed clover, improve worn pasture, manage weeds and tall fescue, stockpile forage, protect wet ground with a sacrifice area, and decide whether making hay is economically sensible. The book also covers buying and judging hay, safe baling moisture, hay-fire prevention, bloat, nitrate poisoning, prussic acid, and toxic plants.Written for beginning livestock keepers, this guide replaces fixed formulas with observation, realistic arithmetic, and grazing decisions that protect forage, animal health, and the feed budget.
