Rotational Grazing "Rotational grazing" means controlling when and where an animal grazes by moving the animals between grazing locations (aka paddocks) on a regular basis. For us, we move our goats to a new paddock every 3-7 days. This is very rare for goats, which are normally managed in confinement or with access to single pasture. You may have heard of rotational grazing in relation to raising beef cows, but for dairy goats it's almost unheard of.
