Benefits of Medicinal Herbal Grazing

Herbal pasture grass means healthy livestock and increased profits. Many farmers who have livestock put them out on monoculture grass pastures and supplement their feed. They often end up with them having health problems, often diet-related, worm issues and the like.


With herbal pasture grass you have medicinal plants and some of the best pastures that will give your livestock a daily boost and will also help to keep the internal parasites and worms down as well.


When raising livestock your main expenses are in fertilizer, feed and vet bills. By planting good herbal pasture grass you manage to  eradicate the need for fertilizer as the plants themselves put back goodness into the soil in the form of nitrogen as many of our proprietary mixtures are nitrogen fixing plants.


These proprietary mixtures also provide feed for most of the year round, and the high quality of pasture given to livestock will improve their health, including the propensity to get worms, as long as a person manages the herbal pasture just as they would other pasture grass with rotational use.
