Why start mob grazing?

Why start mob grazing?

Farmers report that implementing a mob grazing system leads to better soil health, healthier cattle and lower costs.

The Mob Grazing group first met at Comielaw Farm on the Balcaskie Estate in Fife in October 2018. At that point the farm team were in their second year of experimenting with mob grazing.

English beef farmer and long-term Holistic Management practitioner Rob Havard gave a presentation about the benefits of Mob Grazing, which you can read here or watch the video:
