Body

Irrigated pasture can provide forage for livestock, be useful during breeding and calving time, serve as an exercise area for horses, and conserve and improve soil and provide an alternative to rangeland. Before establishing a pasture, some planning must be done. Consider the feasibility of pasture in view of stocking needs, land availability, and look at the cost and availability of equipment and materials to establish and maintain the pasture. All alternatives should be examined before entering into development of irrigated pasture.
