Join John Henry Nelson, permaculturist and co-owner of Stone & Spade, along with Rocco Sinicrope of Living Web Farms, for this workshop focused on the farm’s integrated permaculture and livestock system. We utilize methods to maximize nutrient and water capture that works in synergy with the landscape. Learn how to cycle nutrients and water in a rotational grazing system that includes intensive diverse cover cropping and annual vegetables. In part 3, livestock manager, Rocco Sinicrope starts by talking about the basics of fertility and integrating animals in pasture systems.

Nice work y’all!
Best reason to mob graze is that selective grazing allows the most toxic, least nutritious, least palatable species of plants (which are the ones that are never consumed) to propagate in your pasture. Over time your pasture degrades to the point that you have something that even goats find distasteful. Mob grazing are paddock rotation prevents that and improves forage quality over time.
