Description
A specialized introduced forage rotational stocking grazing unit was managed without usual grassland farming equipment and with various alternative management and production techniques as fringe benefits. The forage production techniques have been successful for many years. Livestock production and economic perimeters have been average to above average. The greatest sold beef yield has been 713 pounds of beef per acre. That is excellent considering the low-capital overhead management style of the unit.
