Introducing PastureView: Dry Matter Data from the Air

March 2026 · 3 min read

Managing grazing rotation well comes down to knowing what's in each paddock. In practice, that usually means driving out and making a visual assessment — which works, but takes time and doesn't scale easily across a large property.

PastureView gives you dry matter estimates and growth rates for every paddock, updated automatically as GrazeMate flies your property.

How it works

When GrazeMate runs its scheduled missions — the same ones checking cattle, troughs, and fences — onboard sensors measure standing dry matter and estimate weekly growth rates in pounds per acre. The data gets processed and delivered to the app, paddock by paddock.

There's no extra hardware and no separate flights.

What you get

Why it matters

Rotational grazing works best when you move at the right time. Too early and you're leaving feed behind. Too late and you're overgrazing and slowing recovery.

PastureView makes that easier to get right. You can see where feed is available, where growth is strongest, and which paddocks need more rest — without having to drive every one of them.

Available now

PastureView is included with every GrazeMate system. If you'd like to see it on your property, book a free on-ranch demo.
