What happens here
Greg elaborates on the benefits of this rotational grazing system. He highlights that every manure 'pat' deposited by the cattle is a 'dollar bill' of natural fertilizer, feeding soil microbes and earthworms. This leads to healthier soil, which in turn produces healthier plants, animals, and ultimately, healthier humans. He emphasizes that ruminant animals are herbivores designed to convert sunlight (via grass) into nutrient-dense protein, contrasting this with conventional methods that rely on feeding grain and chemical fertilizers. Keeping animals off mud is crucial for their health and warmth, reducing feed costs and preventing sickness.
