Combining cattle and sheep on pasture: how do farmers organise the sharing of grass resources ? Sustainable meat and milk production from grasslands

Résumé

The mixed grazing of cattle and sheep can optimise the use of diverse resources, enhance the quality and quantity of grass and reduce the susceptibility of a system to climatic €uctuations. is study aimed to explore how farmers manage grass resources grazed by two species. Our results highlight four styles of mixed cattle and sheep grazing that lie along a continuum from no link between the two species to a high level of integration in space and time. We show that the conguration of the land and the type of bovine production (dairy or beef ) in€uence how mixed grazing is managed.
