What is pasture mating?

Pasture mating is a breeding method used primarily in livestock management, where animals, such as cattle or sheep, are allowed to mate naturally in a pasture setting. In this system, a selected male is introduced to a group of females for a specified period, allowing them to breed without human intervention. This approach can promote natural behavior and reduce stress for the animals, but it requires careful management to ensure that the timing and health of the animals are optimal for successful reproduction.
