Management-Intensive Grazing Book - Jim Gerrish
The Definitive Guide to Management-Intensive Grazing — Jim Gerrish
If you want one book to learn about management-intensive grazing, this is the one. Management-Intensive Grazing by Jim Gerrish draws on twenty years of cutting-edge grazing management research and real-world application to give you the knowledge and framework to transform how you manage your land and livestock.
Gerrish covers the principles behind MiG — why it works, how to design a system for your operation, how to manage recovery periods, and how to think about your land as a living system that responds to how you graze it. Well written, deeply practical, and grounded in science without losing sight of what actually works in the field. Jim and his wife Dawn operate American Grazinglands Services in May, Idaho.
