This site provides links to Fact Sheets, Tutorials, "Ye Olde Forage Library ", and Other WWW sites, having information relevant to forage-livestock systems. Our goal is to provide practical information that farmers can use to develop new or improve established forage-livestock systems.

A forage-livestock system is the combination of forages, livestock, management, and marketing that a manager uses to meet personal and business goals. An effective system optimizes the strengths and minimizes the weaknesses of the social, economic, and ecological environment in which it functions.

Just as we live in a three-dimensional world, a forage-livestock system should be viewed in the three dimensions of :

• Forage-Livestock System Components,
• Forage-Livestock System Production Centers, and
• Sustainable Agriculture

A forage-livestock system is much more than a grazing system. The key to a successful forage-livestock system is unified visioning, planning, and marketing; the management aspects of the agricultural system not just production.
