Sheep Grazing
Traditional, sustainable & effective
Sheep grazing, an age-old practice that has been in use for thousands of years, involves employing sheep as natural grazers to manage vegetation and mitigate the risk of wildfires. This environmentally friendly approach is highly effective in reducing the need for chemical spraying and mulching. What makes sheep grazing even more advantageous is its versatility, as it can be employed through various seasons. This sustainable land management strategy not only promotes healthy ecosystems but also contributes to soil enrichment and biodiversity conservation.

Benefits
The advantages of sheep grazing offer valuable benefits to customers and lead to the allocation of additional resources. By eliminating the need for mulching, sheep grazing contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions. The gentle marks left by sheep hooves on the ground enhance aeration and increase water retention, promoting soil health. Moreover, sheep's natural ability to navigate challenging terrains makes them an efficient choice for vegetation management.
