Grazing Management with Suckler Cows and Regional Beef Marketing

The Koppelweide system at Schornhof integrates dairy cows and steers with rotational grazing and mowing to optimize forage use, reduce summer labor, and maintain larch pastures. It supports closed nutrient cycles, high meat quality, and biodiversity, with strong potential for regional organic meat marketing. The model enables side employment, relies on hardy local breeds, and minimizes external inputs. Success depends on flexible management, pasture monitoring, and targeted marketing to recognize sustainable practices.
