- Abstract:
- ... Adaptive management can be used to manage complexity, such as how to match forage production variability across years and within portions of a grazing season with animal demand through management flexibility. Adaptive management strategies should incorporate flexibility and feedback mechanisms informed by appropriate seasonal weather variables and monitoring metrics to both increase resiliency of ...

Managers of large, heterogeneous landscapes with limited financial resources can use ecological site concepts and state-and-transition models to identify landscape divisions with the highest chances of responding favorably to management activities. This conceptual framework can help determine the optimal configuration of pastures and water developments so that conservation-focused grazing and resp ...

- Abstract:
- ... Targeted grazing is an increasingly popular tool for managing vegetation over large landscapes. While the principles of targeted grazing are scientifically based, the successful practice of targeted grazing requires site-specific knowledge of plant growth, animal nutrition and grazing behavior, ecosystem function, and public relations. Targeted grazing requires significant producer investment—in l ...

- Abstract:
- ... Supplemental polyethylene glycol (PEG), a polymer that neutralizes the negative effects of tannins, can increase intake and preference of cattle for fresh-cut sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), an invasive, tannin-containing legume for the tallgrass prairie region of the Great Plains. In grazing trials, steers supplemented with PEGI plus a high-protein supplement tended to eat more sericea tha ...

- Abstract:
- ... Goal-driven ecologically based grazing management moved a ranching operation from negative economic returns to profit. Management adaptively manipulated the duration, seasonality, and frequency of grazing with a goal to recruit cool-season midgrasses. A change to recovery periods based on plant physiology of goal species was a key adaptation. Recruitment of both cool- and warm-season mid-grasses i ...

- Abstract:
- ... Protein supplements and polyethylene glycol increased juniper intake by small ruminants in all seasons except fall, when PSM concentrations were greatest. Terpenes were affected by season and sapling size, and were related to juniper intake by small ruminants. Small sapling browsing occurred most frequently in summer. Debarking of branches on taller saplings was greatest in spring. Ten years later ...

There are also cold desert steppe and warm desert zones, and montane range, and both fall- and spring-calving cattle herds. Leased land, public land, irrigated pasture, supplements, by-products, and feeds round out the annual forage calendar. The Mediterranean zone has been t ...

- Abstract:
- ... Twenty years ago I completed my Master’s work in the Chaco forests of northern Argentina. The native forests are, in fact, rangelands. In addition to livestock grazing, there is timber extraction, wildlife harvest (think tegu lizard cowboy boots), and charcoal production. I took part in a project comparing biodiversity among production systems. A new system promised to reverse biodiversity loss an ...

- Abstract:
- ... With expected increases in drought frequency and severity, long-term drought management strategies that focus on cattle selection and natural resource management are essential. The livestock industry in general unintentionally tends to select for cattle that do not perform to their maximum potential in limited-resource environments. We discuss the implications of cattle selection based on characte ...

- Abstract:
- ... Toxic larkspurs (Delphinium spp.) in western North America are abundant native plants on foothill and mountain rangelands. Previous analysis for toxic alkaloids in waxy larkspur indicated that this plant was highly toxic. However, no information on cattle grazing of waxy larkspur was available. We conducted a small grazing study in spring 2012 near Challis, Idaho, and found that cattle consumed su ...

Native plant abundances within the grasslands and sagebrush steppe of the Northern Range decreased substantially during the 20th century and the degradation has continued during the 21st century. Forage production has declined precipitously, and ecological processes (i.e., water cycle, energy flow, and nutrient cycle) are impaired and degrading further. The declining health of Northern Range grass ...

One objective of the ongoing “Renewal on Standing Rock Reservation” project is to evaluate the response of grazing steers to the level of prairie dog colonization on Northern Mixed Grass Prairie. We fenced four pastures to create an increasing gradient of a proportion of the pasture area colonized by prairie dogs. Pastures are stocked with yearling steers during each growing season.

- Abstract:

This private land mentioned was sold in 1990 and managed for elk. At the same time cattle were permanently removed from the area. By 2009, repeat photography showed that vegetation in the area had changed and was domi ...
