It's possibly due to several factors:

  • One person's definition of "overgrazing" might be entirely different from yours. In truth there is no one solid definition of what overgrazing really means, thus there can be a real grey area in trying to figure out what it means and how it pertains to a cattle operation.
  • Ignorance
  • Lack of education to proper grazing practices and the science behind grass growth and grazing and the co-relation between them.
  • It could be deliberate due to the fact that a certain pasture needs to be "ovegrazed" in order to be no-till seeded or it's at a certain stage where it is allowable. Some would call it "abusing" pasture.
  • What you would call overgrazing may not be overgrazing to that producer at all.
