UNIQUE APPROACH TO GRAZING / 7 PASTURE  ROTATION

LEVITICUS 25: 3-4
For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.

LEVITICUS 25:20-21
You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.

Ranch Land Application:

   If you are worried about selling your cattle every six years because of income tax and ruining your genetic improvement, why not follow a seven- pasture rotation program? Rest one pasture for a year, and in seven years the entire ranch will have been rested. On large ranches, divide the ranch into seven pasture units and follow the same principles. Pastures on smaller ranches can de divided economically with electric fences.

ADVANTAGES

1. Improve condition and environment for increased forage growth.
2. Long term increase in stocking rates.
3. Longer rest period than “4 Pasture” or “Cell Grazing”.
4. No fencing cost.
5. No water development cost.
6. Improved range condition in a maximum of seven years.
7. RANCHING ACCORDING TO GOD'S PLAN.
