Grazing Sheep
in California Vineyards
This best management practices guide has been developed to facilitate integrating sheep into vineyard systems in California. While every operation is different with regards to management practices, site, goals and available resources, land managers can use this guide for grazing in combination with a variety of other soil health practices to achieve their management, financial and environmental objectives.
This guide is a product of collaboration between vineyard managers, extension specialists, graziers, Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the Agroecology Lab at UC Davis, the Ecdysis Foundation, and the Napa Resource Conservation District.
