Your grazing system will be your particular way of managing your plants, soils, and grazing animals. A variety of grazing systems have been used on rangelands in the western United States and Canada.

Grazing Systems A grazing system is just an organized, planned way of using the pasture resource to ensure that the animals receive the right amount of high- quality forage while maintaining the productiv-ity and vigor of the pasture and soil. A grazing system should result in the highest forage pro-duction and use per acre, have variable stock-

Grazing systems. The choice of a grazing system is an important component of an economically viable pasture-based operation. Common grazing systems include continuous and rotational. Rotational grazing refers to a broader category of grazing systems including rest rotation, deferred rotation and management-intensive grazing.
Grazing systems integrate the components of plant, animal, soil, environment, and management. There are many types of grazing systems (continuous, rotational, strip-grazing, creep-grazing, first–last grazing, and mixed animal grazing, which includes different types of livestock).
All potential water sources should be considered when developing a grazing system. Ponds, springs, streams, municipal water and wells are options and can all contribute to providing water to livestock.
Many types of grazing systems exist, and the benefits are abundant over using a continuous grazing system. Rotational grazing can drastically increase pasture utilization, production, forage quality, and stand persistence which can all increase animal health and performance.
