Challenges with Riverside Grazing

 

If you farm or graze low-lying pastures, you may have special management challenges that other producers do not have. I thought this story from the Farm Press about one livestock producer and how he manages his herd of cows on river bottom fields was really interesting. To get the cattle to move from lo-lying ground to higher ground easily, he had to rework his arrangement of pastures to make the cows move easily from one area to another.
