continuous grazing
Continuous grazing is a livestock management practice where animals, such as cattle or sheep, have unrestricted access to a pasture throughout the grazing season. This method allows animals to graze freely, which can lead to overgrazing in certain areas if not managed properly.
In continuous grazing systems, the pasture is not divided into smaller sections, or paddocks, which means that the animals can choose their preferred grazing spots. While this approach can be simpler to manage, it may result in uneven forage utilization and can negatively impact soil health and plant diversity over time.
