Grazing Plan: It's All About Science

Spring has arrived on the farm, and now we have to figure out the nitty gritty of how to get started the first time, the first year rotational grazing. Come along as I learn more about fescue, cool vs warm season grass, the math that turns the whole thing into beautiful science, and the worksheet I created to make the process doable and much less intimidating in the everyday work load. Here is a link to the worksheet I created: Rotational Grazing Worksheet: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHB4zWkpUM/lOCsr5MY6eC5ovRTmdo_dg/view?utm_content=DAHB4zWkpUM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h351abd28ff Affiliate Link Electric Fencing Supplies on Amazon: Polywire- https://amzn.to/3Ne4zIT Polywire reels- https://amzn.to/4rEhQbB __________________________________________________________________________ Ranching & Roots | South Poll Cattle • Rotational Grazing • Regenerative Ranching • Gardening • Greenhouse • Real Food • Homesteading Welcome to Ranching & Roots — a Missouri-based ranch documenting our transition to South Poll cattle, rotational grazing, and regenerative agriculture in the Ozarks. We’re building a profitable, grass-based cattle operation by improving soil health, pasture management, and cattle genetics. This channel follows our real-world journey breeding commercial Angus cows to registered South Poll bulls, implementing managed intensive grazing, improving forage diversity, and developing a resilient ranch business, as well as growing real food for our family and neighbors. On this channel you’ll find: • South Poll cattle genetics and breeding decisions • Rotational grazing systems and pasture management • Regenerative agriculture practices • Soil health improvement strategies • Grass-fed beef production • Ranch infrastructure projects • Greenhouse growing and food production • Cattle handling and herd management • Rural Missouri ranch life Whether you’re a rancher, farmer, homesteader, or someone wanting to start a cattle operation, our goal is to share practical, transparent insight into building a sustainable and profitable ranch from the ground up. Subscribe and follow along as we grow better cattle, healthier soil, and deeper roots.
