Timed Grazing or Restoration Grazing is one of the most effective land management tools promoting pasture diversification nutrient cycling and soil building.  By setting systems in place herbivores improve soil creating grasslands more productive, resistant to drought and to run-off.

In nature animals mob for safety, move frequently and have a recovery period before returning to the pasture.  An increased stock density promotes higher stocking rates and creates the ability to trample surplus pasture to the ground resulting in a residual cover which builds organic matter, mitigates drought and promotes diversified pasture.
