Disciplined, orchestrated, rotational grazing of animals on natural, herbaceous, grassy pasture which both symbiotically benefits and respects the animals, pasture, soil, environment and ecosystem. Rotational grazing ensures excellent animal hygeine as they are moved away from their waste. Rotation also ensures that the pasture is not negatively impacted by over-grazing. The pasture plants receive
the benefits of natural animal fertilization, grazing induced root-shed and natural coexistence of a multitude of herbaceous species within the pasture, promoting bountiful growth of multiple beneficial plant types. The environment benefits from the natural processes of pasture-based farming:
- No herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, synthetic fetilizers or soil treatments are used.
- No chemicals or denatured fertilizers are carried into the watershed.
- Very minimal fuel (carbon footprint) is expended caring for the pasture-based process.
- Acres of healthy, bountiful pasture growth serves to sequester harmful carbon from the environment. (written by sheepdog farms)
