There are various types of grazing techniques and philosophies that fall under the umbrella of “managed grazing”.

Gallagher understands the increased awareness of agricultural environmental impact, a growing world population with increased food production needs, and an increasing number of millennials and retirees moving back to, starting or renovating existing livestock operations.  This allows Gallagher the opportunity to not only offer the highest quality electric fencing products but also to lend expert advice on how to increase forage and livestock yield while improving an operations triple bottom line which consists of people, planet and profits.”
