[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 5043744, member: 71668"] err, for starters . . . im not a grazier I don't own any livestock ( apart from a 7 yr pet old Santa Gertrudis bullock ), am just an arable farmer & not a very good one at that However, it is clear that holistic grazing is FAR more than just cell / mob / rotational grazing. First & foremost, it is observing, understanding & acting accordingly on, your animals, your soils, your plants, your land, your resources & ultimately yourself. One thing it most definitely is NOT, is a prescription or recipe written out by someone else for us to follow to the letter It pisses me off when people don't like or dismiss the term "holistic", or think of it as some hippy feel good ideal. I love the word holistic, we should embrace it in ALL aspects of our life. Personal, relationships, financial, production, health etc. More so, ALL these aspects of our lives are inter related, it is silly to focus on one in isolation Holistic grazing is just one aspect of a holistic business model, which is just one aspect of our holistic approach to everything in our lives. There is no SINGLE aspect of our farms, businesses or lives which can be treated in isolation. However, modern agriculture is very much focussed on prescriptions, "silver bullets", a bag or a drum, a reductionist attitude of looking at every "problem" in isolation anyway, ill pull my head in now & just sit back & observe for a while [/QUOTE]
