Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book considers a revolutionary approach to ranching: a pasturage system where sheep are left unmanaged to graze freely in predator-proof pastures. This method offers significant advantages over traditional herding practices. Pasturing sheep in enclosed areas offers greater protection against predators, minimizing loss. The author observed a 99-day loss of only 0.4% among pastured sheep, compared to losses of 1-3% for herded sheep. Moreover, the pasturage system promotes a healthier and more productive flock. Sheep are less stressed and more evenly conditioned, resulting in higher quality wool and increased lamb weight. This book provides valuable insights into the behavior of sheep in a free-range environment, emphasizing the importance of forage quality and management practices. The author argues that the pasturage system can significantly increase the carrying capacity of a range, allowing for a greater number of sheep to graze on the same acreage. The author's research suggests the pasturage system could revolutionize sheep ranching, offering increased profitability, reduced labor costs, and improved animal welfare. This book is a comprehensive resource for ranchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable grazing practices. Its findings have the potential to reshape the future of ranching and contribute to a more ethical and environmentally conscious approach to animal husbandry.
