The development of a grazing system should be flexible and dependent on the livestock producer's goals and resources. Grazing systems are divided into "continuous" or "rotational" stocked systems. Continuous stocking is the grazing of one pasture for a long period... Rotational stocking is where livestock are moved between pastures during the grazing season, concentrating their feeding on one pasture for a few days and then moving them to a new field that is ready to graze. 3, record 3, English, - grazing%20system
