Continuous grazing

Continuous grazing is a method where livestock, such as cattle or sheep, graze freely on the same area of pasture throughout the grazing season. This approach allows animals to access the entire pasture continuously without rotation or rest periods for the land. While it is simple to manage, it can lead to overgrazing, where plants are consumed faster than they can recover, potentially causing land degradation and loss of forage health. Proper management is essential to prevent overuse and maintain the pasture's productivity over time.
