Here is a group of excellent connections to information on rotational

grazing or management-intensive grazing, for healthier, more comfortable

cows and other animals.

If you follow the arrows to the Stockman Grassfarmer link, they will

send you a free issue of their bi-monthly newspaper -- which has

techniques for wet-land grazing, dry-land grazing, hot-climate grazing

and cold-climate grazing.

It also tells how to get all kinds of practical equipment, including

solar-powered batteries for rotational fencing systems and light-weight

shade devises. Think of it! -- you could turn 5 acres of weeds at the

Mayapur temple-site into pleasant grazing land for the cows, instead of

keeping them chained in their stalls all day (while the deer get to run

free).

(Stockman Grassfarmer once featured an article about Sita and Rasala's

rotational grazing scheme at Gita-nagari Farm.)
