International Silvopasture Congress, Uruguay

Posted by Harry Greene on November 15, 2023 at 9:20am 1 Comment

Hey all,



I recently went down to Argentina and Uruguay, for the Argentine Silvopasture Congress and International Silvopasture Congress in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Attendees totaled 500 or so, between the two conferences. A few high-level takeaways: 



1. The room was full of agronomists, more so than ecologists. The discussion is very matter-of-fact and pragmatic, in that silvopasture is an established, financially-beneficial practice there. The discussion does not…

Brett Chedzoy replied to Gabe Smith's discussion overwintering sheep in the woods

overwintering sheep in the woods

Is there a reasonable way to manage grazing in the woods during winter or using it as an overwintering site in place of a barn (there is no current barn)? The woods are shruby with multiflora rose, honeysuckle, and autumn olive.  Dying ash with old oaks and shagbark hickory.I would think it would be better long term to plant a dense conifer shelter belt for a living barn, if possible.In the short term could it be useful to "bale bomb" in some shruby invasive areas? See More
