[QUOTE="fasttommy, post: 1698406, member: 22999"] Do some reading up on the concept of Silvopasture which is essentially what you are suggesting. There can be some benefits of strategic shade in a pasture such as increased palatability of the forage, plus you get the benefits of dual land uses/income streams. Forage reduction due to shade isn’t always significant depending on the amount of canopy cover. Adaptive grazing techniques would be needed to avoid damage to the trees, or fencing them out completely like Lucky P said. [/QUOTE]
