Mob Grazing Workshop
October 29, 2008
Decatur Civic Center, Texas
Contact: Jeanie Dreinhofer (325) 348-3014
Mob Grazing is the curret hot topic among progressive grass farmers looking for the path to profitable ranching operations. The cry to "increase annual forage production by up to 400%" reminds us of the early eighties when "double your stocking rate" drew forward thinking graziers to Allan Savory's talks on Holistic Resource Management. Now, many of those still on the leading edge realize they are farming grass as much as livestock, and that those higher stock densities are evolving to ultra high stock density as graziers discover the benefits of up to 500,000 pounds of cattle per acre!
