Pasture Management Calendar: Month-by-Month Guide

Welcome to our new audio article from Ceva Sounds Ruminants. The topic of today is Pasture Management Calendar: Month-by-Month Guide. A content developed by Ana Sofia Santos, Head of Research and Innovation at FeedInov CoLAB.In this article, we explore how a structured pasture management calendar can help livestock producers align grazing practices with the natural growth cycles of forage plants. Seasonal changes in temperature, rainfall, and soil fertility strongly influence pasture productivity, making timing a key factor in effective grazing systems. The article outlines the main management priorities throughout the year—from winter planning and soil testing, to spring seeding and weed control, peak-season rotational grazing, summer drought management, and autumn pasture preparation. By coordinating these seasonal tasks, farmers can prevent overgrazing, maintain pasture resilience, improve forage availability, and support the long-term sustainability of pasture-based livestock systems.If you want to learn more about ruminants, visit ruminants.ceva.pro.
