Welcome To
Grazing Management
Conservation grazing services in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire and beyond.
Our Services
We offer conservation grazing and land management services to improve the biodiversity of wildflower meadows, traditional grasslands, peatlands and other habitats. We work to support the aims of land owners and land managers, including statutory responsibilities and fulfilling environmental scheme agreements. We offer the following services:
Conservation Grazing
By traditional native breed cattle and goats, using NoFence geocollars.
Additional Grazing
By Shetland sheep (suitable for fully fenced areas).
Monitoring Surveys
To assess the changes to the habitat.
Clearance Work
Mechanical scrub clearance and bracken bashing to complement our hoof-powered work.
Training Packages
For volunteer livestock checkers (in partnership with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust).
Mobile Facilities
Provision of mobile handling and water facilities where fixed facilities are not available on site.

Biodiversity Improvements
Nature restoration is at the heart of our business. We use hardy native breed Belted Galloway and Traditional Hereford cattle, which are ideally suited to biodiversity improvement projects. They do well on rough grazing and are a great choice for public access sites due to their docile characters. We use NoFence geo-collars, which gives us greater flexibility than conventional fencing and allows us to graze areas such as common land.
Partnership With Landowners and Land Managers
We work in partnership with landowners and land managers to deliver biodiversity improvements including SSSI improvement, peat bog restoration and Invasive Non Native Species management.
Working With Specialist Ecologists
We build a tailored package for each site we graze, working with specialist ecologists, contractors and our highly trained bovine team to deliver thriving habitats.
