Paddock Design, Fencing and Water Systems for Controlled Grazing

Ron Morrow, Alice Beetz and, Lee Rinehart (2009)

Summary

This publication covers some of the basics of paddock design and current fencing and water technology. Paddock design needs to be based on landscape, land productivity, water availability and the number and types of animals in the system. Water systems are more complex and expensive than fencing systems. Producers need to understand all the technology available before establishing a grazing system. A good way to explore the technology is to order catalogs from companies that sell fencing or water systems.
