Pasture, Rangeland, and Grazing Management (Summary)

In a time of high-cost inputs, pasture-based livestock production systems can naturally maintain soil and plant integrity while growing healthy ruminants. This publication profiles the general types of pasture and rangeland and offers information about management and expected yields. Weed management strategies are also discussed, and tips are offered to rehabilitate depleted land. Issues in grazing management, such as paddock development, plant selection, drought, and plant toxicosis are also discussed. Resources and references are presented.
