People direct as little as possible in natural grazing: nature itself is at the helm. However, the law and practice do require guidance on a few aspects of natural grazing:

• Inviting and informing local residents and visitors. Some important questions can be best answered by the herd manager, such as: why are there grazers here? What do you do when you encounter large grazers? What is the difference between semi-wild grazers and farm animals?
• Number regulation and selection of grazers. In small areas and in areas without large predators, the herd manager takes out some of the animals from the area on a yearly basis,  so that the numbers are in balance with the food supply.
• Prevention of damage and nuisance. With smart practical measures and number regulation, damage to farmland or dangerous traffic situations can be prevented.
• In many cases, grazers are legally stated as 'kept animals'. A duty of care applies and animals must be individually registered (ear tag for cattle, chip and passport for horses).
