Jim Gerrish - How Paddock Design Impacts Grazing

We hosted Jim Gerrish from American GrazingLands again today on a very popular webinar, Paddock Design 101: Planned Grazing Fundamentals in collaboration with our Canadian friends, Foothills Forage & Grazing Association. In it, Jim covered the following:
- Pasture sub-division: the “why” and “how”
- Time management: why it takes precedence over space management
- Stock water development: cost-effective considerations when using natural or developed water sources, and its impact to optimizing grazing distribution
- Determining size and number of pastures needed for planning rotations based on annual precipitation
- Differences in fixed cell and flexible cell design

This guys a legend. Great presentation. Thanks for sharing!

This is the best explanation of the factors used to determine rotational grazing which I would prefer to call a paddock system.

Great info! I learned a ton! Thanks Jim!👏👏👏

This was great! As a city boy who plans to enter into ranching, I need an understaning of the mechanisms involved in the process. This is the foundation I have been looking for!

I don't know if it occurred to others but if cattle limit their travel away from water we don't need to build fence--just keep moving the water. Thoughts?

[@gw2276]

Do you figure inches of snow in your water to rotation equation?

[@Gustav4]

Why doesnt Jim uses his livestock to improve the land outside of the pivot?
