HOW BIG SHOULD EACH PADDOCK BE? Calculating Grazing Paddock Size for Rotational Grazing sheep & cows

FREE PADDOCK SIZING WORKSHEET: http://bit.ly/paddockplan

Today I am giving you a formula that I use for calculating Grazing Paddock Size for small scale Rotational Grazing. Using what you know of the carrying capacity of your land, the animal unit measure, and the square footage of an acre, we come to a very easy means to Calculate Grazing Paddock Size for Rotational Grazing. Please know, this formula does not replace careful observation of both land and animals while rotational grazing. It is important to watch how your land and animals respond to each paddock size. It is also helpful to keep a grazing journal or photographic record.

This paddock sizing formula is geared towards small scale grazing, but can easily be adjusted for large scale operations. This formula was adapted from Joel Salatin's method explained in Salad Bar Beef.

Hope this helps you!
