An Integrated Crop Livestock System (ICLS) incorporates animals for grazing cover crops, crop residues, or other vegetation between cash crops in the same plot of land or operation. In these systems, grazing typically occurs before seeding or transplanting fresh produce crops. Small ruminants, sheep and goats, are frequently used in these integrated systems. 

This report is an evaluation of the food safety impacts of sheep/goats grazing cover crops compared to tilled termination of cover crops, and winter fallow before spinach and cucumber.
