We can also take care of your animals year round. We provide swath grazing and custom feeding at very competitive rates. Our low stress animal handling and year round grazing management gives you high quality animal care.

Bale Grazing

At Greener Pastures, our fertilizer program consists of bringing in nutrients to recycle them through the animals. When we have to feed stored forage, we place in the pasture allowing the animals to 'graze' the bales without the confinement of a feedlot. This is better for the health of the animal and in turn distributes the manure out on the land for us, saving unnecessary labor and equipment costs. This of course allows us to lower our yardage costs for our customers.

Swath Grazing

Swath grazing at Greener Pastures is practiced for a number of reasons:

1. Lowers the feed cost for our contributors

2. Removes confinement feeding

3. Spreads manure more economically

4. Reduces labor and machinery costs

We move a portable electric fence allowing the cattle to graze the swath with very little labor and machinery costs. Strap on your snowshoes and try it. We have grazed through two feet of snow. We have grazed through freezing rain and we have grazed until the end of April.

We don't swath graze right through the winter every year, but we definitely can help lengthen the grazing season and reduce over all expenses for your cow herd.
