Human ECO-Life | ROTATIONAL GRAZING SYSTEM SETUP

 🐐  Step 1: Assess Your Land & Divide It into Paddocks

📍 Determine the number of paddocks based on land size and forage availability.
📏 Ideal rotation sections: 4-8 paddocks per grazing area.
🚧 Use fencing, natural barriers, or portable electric fencing to section off areas.

Step 2: Rotate Animals Strategically

🕒 Grazing Duration:

• Animals graze in one paddock for 1-7 days before being moved.
• Each paddock rests for 30-60 days before reuse.

🐑 Animal Rotation Examples:

• Goats & sheep: Eat weeds and tough plants.
• Chickens: Scratch soil, fertilize, and eat parasites.
• Cows: Graze on grasses and trample organic matter, adding nutrients.

Step 3: Provide Water & Shelter

💧 Ensure water access in each paddock (troughs, rain catchment systems).
🌳 Shade & shelter should be available for animal comfort.

Step 4: Monitor Soil & Forage Health

📊 Check soil health by observing grass regrowth, manure breakdown, and erosion control.
🔄 Adjust rotation schedules based on seasonal changes and forage availability.
