It might seem like there's a lot to think about when you want to start mob grazing, from setting up infrastructure like fencing and water, to how to fit moving your animals into your day.
Farmers across Scotland have told us that by starting small, it's much easier to get started than you might think - and that there's no one right way to do it.
Mob grazing in Scotland
The question everyone wants to know is - can it work in Scotland? All the farmers in the Mob Grazing group say “yes it can!” but you need to find what works for you, for your farming business, for your land and to meet your goals.
Filmed back in 2018, our Tall Grass Grazing film followed Mossgiel Farm in Ayrshire, Balcaskie Estate in Fife, Lynbreck Croft in Grantown on Spey and The Sailean Project in Lismore at an earlier stage in their holistic management and mob grazing journey.

Explore mob grazing by topic
Each month we'll be updating the resources below with information from our mob grazing group on a new topic relating to how to get started with mob grazing.
A regular question we're asked is how to assess your forage to know when to move your livestock. Our mob grazers have been filming their animal moves so you can see how different farms across Scotland make this work for their land.
