A good pasture is the foundation of any profitable livestock operation. It provides the forages needed not only to sustain but also to allow the livestock to grow. Having enough forages for all of the animals is essential to keep your feed costs down to a manageable level. However, keeping a pasture at this level can be complicated.
Despite your best efforts, a good pasture can end up going bad on you. We have all seen it before: certain invasive species somehow make it into your pasture and overrun everything. They then choke out the forages your animals need, meaning you will either need to supplement or reduce your numbers. Another thing that can happen is that you start seeing bare spots showing up more and more.
Needless to say, people are not too happy when facing scenarios like this. In fact, people tend to dread it when they think they will need to renovate their pasture. They believe it will require tremendous labor and an equal amount of money to get it back to form. What if I told you there were some ways to do this without breaking the bank? Before shelling out a lot of money to fix your pasture, here are some things to consider.
