Targeted Grazing 101

If you’re looking to break into the sheep industry or expand an existing operation, targeted grazing offers an avenue of opportunity that continues growing in the U.S. The American Sheep Industry Association released a book titled “Targeted Grazing 101: Starting and Sustaining a Grazing Service Enterprise.” The new book offers those new to the industry a resource for getting started. Interviews with more than three dozen experienced targeted grazers led to the creation of a 300-page manual that will help aspiring grazers understand what it takes to thrive in the industry. “An earlier version of this book relied on a lot on the academic world, but this new version draws on more input from people who are out there doing targeted grazing on a daily basis,” says John Walker, Ph.D., who oversaw the review process for the new book. Chapters include Getting Started, Keys to Success, and many others.
