Before livestock is introduced into your silvopasture, you must provide both fencing and watering facilities. Fencing controls animal movement and is critical to a successful silvopasture management area.
Plan your fence carefully to maximize grazing options, and consider the placement of water tanks when developing a fence plan
Water tanks in the fence line should be centrally located and serve more than one paddock to promote more uniform grazing of the site and to limit soil compaction around the watering areas
