Incorporate Hay and Manure for Pasture Health

What happens here

After hay has been distributed and consumed, the cattle will leave manure patches across the pasture. The farmer explains that he will drag these pastures to break up the manure and any leftover hay residue. This process spreads valuable nutrients more widely, helps to cover bare spots with organic matter and seeds from the hay, and encourages uniform grazing by preventing cattle from avoiding areas around undisturbed manure piles. This systematic management contributes significantly to the overall health and productivity of the pasture.

Goal: Enhance pasture health by distributing manure and hay residue.
