Innovative rotational grazing on mixed dairy-beef farm
Rotational pasture management for sustainable dairy and beef farming on a 150-hectare mixed farm
or
Detail description
Sebastian Vaida's family farm in Romania spans 150 hectares, combining dairy and beef production through an innovative rotational grazing system. The farm optimizes pasture use across 115 hectares of grassland, with 35 hectares of beech forests enhancing biodiversity, light penetration, and water access. By reseeding pastures and strategically managing hay bales, the farm increases milk yield and meat production while reducing labor and environmental impact. The system supports sustainable land use, improves animal nutrition, and is adaptable to climate change. This model offers a replicable framework for mixed farming operations seeking efficiency, resilience, and ecological balance.
