#12 Grazing cattle in the woods with Brett Chedzoy

<p>In this episode, Brett Chedzoy shares with us his extensive experience practicing and teaching silvopasture. Brett clearly discussed some of the key issues, challenges and opportunities associated with silvopasture. We spent quite some time covering the importance of rotational grazing and how silvopasture differs from pasture grazing. We cover specific topics such as tree fodder, animal behaviour and the different interactions between trees and animals. We finish the conversation with a practical step by step method to convert a forest into a silvopasture system. </p><p><strong>TABLE OF CONTENTS</strong></p><p>00:02:00 Introduction </p><p>00:06:58 Silvopasture basics </p><p>00:13:40 Challenges and risks </p><p>00:17:26 Grazing on pasture vs rotational grazing in silvopasture </p><p>00:34:08 Effect of animal presence on tree growth </p><p>00:39:16 Animal behaviour </p><p>00:43:25 Tree fodder and browsing </p><p>00:47:45 Forage quality &nbsp;</p><p>00:56:29 Skills necessary to transition to silvopasture grazing </p><p>01:00:38 Stocking density and rotation timing </p><p>01:06:30 Three step process to convert forest to silvopasture </p><p>01:16:23 Resources </p><p><strong>• RESOURCES</strong></p><p><a href="https://silvopasture.ning.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://silvopasture.ning.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/theangusglenfarm/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/theangusglenfarm/home</a></p><p><strong>• GET IN TOUCH&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.regenerativeagroforestry.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.regenerativeagroforestry.org</a></p><p><strong>• SUPPORT US</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://gumroad.com/regenagroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry</a></p><p><strong>• FOLLOW US</strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Regagroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/RegenerativeA
