Cattle in your aspen woodlands: Growing forage and wood products

Ensure the economic viability of raising cattle while improving your woodlands and water resources. This video showcases silvopasture, a practice that combines sustainable management of forage, livestock and your woodlands. Managing your woodland for timber and forage can increase the time your cattle spend grazing and reduce the amount of hay or other feed used.
