The expert team at AgNext have developed a guide for successful grazing management in Western rangelands. The seven principles (optimize stocking rate, consider distribution, prioritize ecological health, use a grazing plan, think beyond the range, practice adaptive management, and welfare begets performance) should be considered without hierarchy and should not been seen as mandatory. Some operations may benefit from utilizing all seven principles while other may utilize a few. Developed from the work of Jablonski et al. (2023), the team at AgNext have developed a number of tools for a producer to utilize in their grazing management. 

The Grazing Principles Guidebook

The Grazing Principles Guidebook defines in detail each of the seven principles of successful livestock management. Within the guidebook, one can find additional information and applicable resources for each of the principles.
