Special Considerations For Grazing Sheep & Dairy Cows by Christine O’Reilly

Many Canadian grazing recommendations were developed using beef cattle in the prairies. While we have adapted these the forage species and climate in Ontario, other livestock have different needs. Public enemy number one for grazing sheep are gastrointestinal parasites. Maintaining milk components can be difficult on a predominantly pasture diet for lactating cows. Although this talk will dive into specifics for sheep and dairy cows, farmers finishing stockers on grass or raising organic cattle will find some ideas to improve their production on pasture.
