An observations: yes, ruminants, but hogs/ pigs, poultry, and other monogastrics like horses, donkeys and mules, are also great tools for regenerative agriculture. It's all in how we MANAGE the livestock on the land. Thank you EarthFarmer for posting this!
Hi..Great info here. How would one mob graze with a small dairy operation...perhaps using a portable type milking parlor? Thanks for any and all help.
@panamacmillan - Small dairies have been using high density (aka 'mob') grazing successfully for years. (Thousands, actually, but we'll stick to the re-discoverers of the technique.) Check out TheStockmanGrassFarmerDOT com and AcresUSA. Great websites & great magazines. You will find forums & books that can help you. Grass-based dairies usually use lanes to bring cattle to & from the parlor, with cows going to a fresh paddock after each milking. Good luck!
