Managing healthy habitats for livestock with Clive Bright 
Register for this webinar at – https://bit.ly/WebinarWithClive
Clive raises 100% grass-fed organic beef on his 120-acre farm in Ballymote, Co.Sligo. He has built his ‘Rare Ruminare’ brand based on his mix of traditional breeds such as Hereford, Shorthorn, Angus and Irish Moiled which are well suited to maintaining the farm’s species-rich grasslands. He sells his beef directly to the consumer.
He uses mob-grazing to ensure that grasslands are given time to recover between grazing periods and to improve the diversity of his grasslands through a more even grazing pressure and suitable stocking rate. He is a good example of how managing with the right stocking rates, size of animal and the
land type at hand you have you don’t have to supplement the diet of the animals.
He sees silvopasture as the answer to real resilience on his farm – increasing animal welfare and plant diversity, extending the grazing season while restoring soil function and water cycles.
Clive is a Farming For Nature Ambassador from 2019. He will speak about his experiences with mobgrazing and his observations around tree planting and establishing silvopasture across his farm.
