The future of the development and management of pasture resources depends on increasing the use of scientific innovations. In some countries rangeland livestock production majority relies on natural ecological processes of plant and animal production, despite the progress in all of the infrastructure, rangeland management have a little growth and base on traditional ranching management, grazing livestock is based on a free grazing system. In this study grazing system was applied and electric fence was useful for bounding the grazing system and reducing management cost.  The system also reduced movement of livestock to use energy obtained from vegetation for meat production instead for abnormal movement electrical fence was used to made possible running grazing system and also preventing entrance of livestock to adjacent segmentation. Electric fencing or creating smaller pastures to achieve tighter control on distribution and intensity.This strategy can enable more flexible for diverse management objectives, increase economic efficiency, reduce to rangeland dependency and inevitably lead to sustainability in rangeland.
