Publisher
Montana State University Extension Service
Body
Swath grazing is a viable option for many producers.
It offers the potential to add value to a livestock enterprise through reducing feed and feeding costs as well as
manure handling costs. This does not mean “sell the
baler.†It means, as with any new practice, swath or
windrow grazing takes planning. Topography of grazing
area, water sources, shelter, fencing and class of livestock all have to be carefully considered. Implementing
this grazing practice will require careful monitoring of
livestock to ensure your livestock enterprise goals are
being met.(source summary)
