In this video, I show you how we built a DIY pasture drag using materials we already had on the farm — a few 16-foot cattle panels and an ATV. Instead of buying a commercial pasture harrow or drag, we created our own simple and effective setup to break up manure, spread nutrients, and help our grass thrive. If you're managing a small farm, homestead, or rotational grazing system, this budget-friendly method can save you money and improve your land. Best of all, there’s no welding, no fancy equipment, and no big expense — just practical use of materials many farms already have. Why Dragging Your Pasture Matters Dragging your pastures is one of the easiest ways to promote healthy regrowth. It breaks up manure clumps that would otherwise kill off patches of grass, helps naturally fertilize your fields, and makes better use of what your animals are already providing. It also supports a more even distribution of nutrients, reduces parasite loads, and fits in perfectly with regenerative farming practices. This method works great if you raise: Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, or Pastured poultry …or any combination of animals that graze and contribute to your soil. Whether you’re running a multi-acre farm or just managing a few paddocks, this simple hack can make a big difference in your pasture health — without breaking the bank. What You’ll Need: (2–3) 16-foot cattle panels Zip ties or clips to attach panels together An ATV, UTV, or tractor to pull the drag Rope or chain for easy hookup This setup costs a fraction of a new drag, is easy to store, and can be customized based on your land and livestock setup. If you’re a part-time farmer, homesteader, or just trying to stretch your farm budget, this one’s for you. 👨‍🌾CONNECT WITH US: Homegrown Hosting (Website, Store, & Email All-in-One): https://homegrownhosting.com/ Website: https://homegrownhosting.com/the-part-time-farmer/ Newsletter:https://homegrown-hosting.kit.com/free-guide Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparttime_farmer/ My Farm: https://longbottomfarm.com 🛒Longbottom Farm Online Shop: https://longbottomfarm.com/affiliate-store/ 👈 These are items we've used and feel confident in recommending.
