Livestock Manure Management
From a one horse ranchette to a 100 acre calf cow operation, livestock owners and producers in Lincoln County deal with manure on a daily basis. Depending upon how a farm manages manure, it can be a golden resource or a constant headache. State and Federal laws require animal wastes to be handled properly to protect human health, water quality, and aquatic habitat. Properly managed manure can increase pasture productivity and reduce the costs of synthetic fertilizers. While it may utilize more time and initial investment, managing manure is part of a well balanced approach to maintaining healthy animals, promoting healthy soils, maximizing production and practicing good stewardship with shared resources like streams and ground water.
