Monitor Pasture Recovery and Animal Health

Small scale regenerative farming..here's how I do it!
What happens here
After the cattle have grazed a paddock, the pasture is left to rest for a full 60-day rotation, allowing the grass to fully recover and the integrated manure and trampled organic matter to break down and enrich the soil. This cyclical process builds healthy, multi-species pastures (including diverse grasses, clovers, and forbs like sericea lespedeza and ragweed) without the need for dewormers or antibiotics for the animals, as the frequent rotation disrupts parasite life cycles. The result is improved soil fertility, increased biodiversity, and healthier animals that produce high-quality, grass-fed beef. This demonstrates a sustainable and natural approach to compost integration and soil management, leading to a thriving agricultural ecosystem.
Goal: Observe the 60-day pasture recovery, noting the benefits of natural compost integration on grass growth and overall animal health without reliance on chemicals.
