14:39Now PlayingStop wasting time and money on permanent fences you'll regret! Learn the revolutionary system for fencing layout that gives you maximum control and flexibility in your grazing program.
In this session of Cattle Grazing Management, Joel Salatin reveals his method for designing a profitable farmscape. He outlines the "three platform launchpad"—Access, Water, and Control—explaining why your access lane is the single most important decision for running water lines and managing stock. Salatin shares practical rules for everything from riparian protection to gate placement, ensuring unstressed animal movement to their next "salad bar".
Key Takeaways:
- Avoid permanent fencing initially; only make permanent what you haven't moved in three years.
- The planning order is Access, Water, then Control.
- Access lanes should be at least 16' wide to allow for comfortable cattle movement between electric fences.
- Use terrain aspect (north/south face) to dictate paddock boundaries for uniform forage growth.
