Here are some of the major benefits of using a dry lot:

• Maintain forage and reduce mud on a larger pasture scale
• Prevent erosion around fences, gates, and waterers
• Reduce the need for vegetation maintenance
• Function as central locations for watering and supplemental feeding for several pastures
• Provide shade
• Reduce the need to renovate pastures
