A pasture wedge graph or feed wedge is a farm management tool used by dairy farmers for the purposes of managing pasture. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It takes the form of a bar graph , [ 4 ] that shows the amount of feed available in a pasture over time, and is therefore shaped as a declining wedge.

In agriculture, grazing is a method of animal husbandry whereby domestic livestock are allowed outdoors to free range (roam around) and consume wild vegetations in order to convert the otherwise indigestible (by human gut) cellulose within grass and other forages into meat, milk, wool and other animal products, often on land that is unsuitable for arable farming.
These critiques have been challenged on the grounds that many studies examined rotational grazing systems in general and not Holistic Management or Holistic Planned Grazing. [35] In addition to a grazing method, Holistic Management involves goal setting, experiential learning and an emphasis on monitoring and adaptive decision-making that have ...
