Pasture Grazing Sticks available at District office

The USDA NRCS pasture grazing stick is a good educational tool for getting started in rotational grazing and one of the simplest ways to measure the amount of dry matter/acre available for livestock to graze. You can use the grazing stick to determine the following information:

- When grazing should be started
-
When livestock should be moved to another pasture
-
Average pasture growth rates
-
Rotation lengths
-
Estimate of available dry matter

For printable fact sheet and video on using grazing stick, click HERE. If you would like a grazing stick, please contact Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District at 207-596-2040 or info@knox-lincoln.org.
