The Main Principles of Rotational Grazing and Addressing the Skeptics

This podcast was funded in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC.

This episode, part two of our miniseries on rotational grazing in collaboration with BC’s Small Scale Meat Producers Association. The first two episodes will cover the fundamentals of managed rotational grazing in the context of the home farm or ranch. In this episode, part two of my conversation with Dr. Woody Lane, in which we discuss what Woody calls the four principles of managed rotational grazing, and address some of the skepticism that Woody hears from farmers when he presents workshops on the subject.

My guest for the first two episodes of this series is Dr. Woody Lane. Woody is a livestock nutritionist and forage specialist from Oregon. Woody has devoted much of his career to promoting the benefits of rotational grazing and teaching others how to implement successful rotational grazing techniques on their farms. He has written multiple books about management-intensive rotational grazing, including Capturing Sunlight: Skills & Ideas for Intensive Grazing, Sustainable Pastures, Healthy Soils, & Grassfed Livestock.
