Livestock Management

Managing livestock effectively means balancing pasture health, water access, and manure management. Conservation districts provide guidance on rotational grazing, fencing solutions, and water system design to ensure livestock have access to quality forage while preserving nearby waterways.

• Use rotational grazing: Move livestock between pastures to prevent overgrazing and improve pasture health.
• Install proper fencing: Design fences to keep livestock out of riparian areas and control grazing behavior.

Manage manure effectively: Use composting or spreading techniques to prevent nutrient runoff and maintain healthy soil.
