Some roam through pastures testing bunches of fescue, a cool-season grass, for the sweetness the frost brings. When farmers are able to control how, where, and when their animals move between pastures, they can more easily accomplish ecological goals that might include increasing soil carbon, reducing water pollution, or incorporating trees.

Oh, the manure will be dehydrated, packaged, and sold as organic fertilizer. I wonder if they measured the lithium mining and energy that went into constructing the solar panels.

I found a well-constructed woven wire fence with proper supports can and will hold goats. However, managed pastures with legumes, high-quality hay, and minerals can help keep goats healthy. As these creatures munch through fields, they fertilize the soil and create a harmonious cycle of nutrient replenishment.

Here is the kicker: Adaptability directly translates to fertility, which are very important traits required in any profitable cattle operation. Most gates, corrals and fencing are constructed out of wood. I was very impressed by what I saw and the superior cattle due to the adaptive genetics in the region.
