For years, livestock farmers have been slow to adapt rotational grazing on their farms.  Dunroven here in Lexington was no different; there were large numbers of cattle in large fields with not many interior rotational fences.  After numerous farm visits and countless recommendations with the farm manager there, they finally decided to adopt a rotational grazing style system.  Fences are being installed with extra watering locations as well.  This will allow them to maintain, even increase, their stocking rate of cattle on the same acreage.  The rotational grazing of fields will allow the fields to rest, recoup growth, retain moisture, and help with weed control - all the while being a more sustainable system that will reduce erosion and improve production of the farm in the long run.  It's very rewarding to be a part of this improved change, to make our farms more sustainable and profitable!
