Grazing and Range/Pasture Management

yes.but i dont know what type of animals and crops

Yes, cows can graze in clover fields. Take for example red clover, it is a wild plant that is used for grazing cattle and other animals. Red clover (or it's extracts) have also been used by traditional as well as modern medicine to treat a number of conditions including cancer, whooping cough, respiratory problems, and skin inflammations, such as psoriasis and eczema. More recently tests have concluded that red clover contains isoflavones, plant-based chemicals that produce estrogen-like effects in the body. However is not understood fully at this time if these estrogen-like effects of isoflavones can pass through a grazing cows digestive system and pass into milk collected from said animal. Until more research is done we can not know if estrogen-like effects will pass from animals to people through way of produced milk or if these effects will even be measurable.

Forage content will decrease until the rancher puts the cattle into another pasture to graze. Cattle will graze the pasture until a) they can't any more or b) the rancher sees that they've taken off enough and moves them to a fresh pasture.

Plants convert the sun's energy into their leaves, roots, stems, flowers and fruit through photosynthesis. Organisms eat the plants, and through the process of respiration use the stored energy to conduct their everyday activities. Additionally, some energy is lost as heat. In all, the organism uses about 90 percent of the stored plant's energy. After several steps in the food chain, no energy is left to recycle.

There is no one-set stocking rate or stocking density for such pasture in the state of California. You will need to see your local county extension agent for actual estimated stocking rates for your area, because the numbers will be based on whether you wish to achieve mob grazing or a form of rotational grazing where you are not switching paddocks daily or sooner.

I think that would depend on the actual fertilizer used, and whether it's likely to be persistent on the leaves of the grass--some wash away readily in the rain. Generally, natural fertilizers like well rotted manure, fish and bonemeal shouldn't be a problem.

Cattle will eat any time of the day or night, however, while watching cattle out on pasture or even in the barn yard, you will see that they have a "schedule". Usually they will graze or eat early in the morning, then rest during the afternoon (in the summer time, the hottest time of the day). Then they will begin to eat latter in the afternoon, then rest again latter at night.

Yes, if the pasture is managed properly so that the grasses get significant rest after being grazed. The feces and urine from the cattle that have grazed there add fertilizer to the soil that the grasses grow, and the grazing action also encourage vigorous foliage growth in well-managed pastures.

However, the grass is not greener in areas where the cows have just been pulled off of (i.e., the very day the cows are switched to a new pasture), or if the pasture has been severely overgrazed due to poor pasture management.

Okapi are browsers, not grazers, so no, they do not graze on grass.

Okapi are herbivores, or plant eaters. Grass is one of the foods they eat. They also eat a variety of ferns, buds, etc. Many of the plants they eat are poisonous to humans.

She could be bloated, or have some other form of stomach upset that is causing her not to eat. In all honesty, the possibilities are endless, even more so when you do not provide any symptoms of her "illness" besides her not eating. Pretty well any illness can cause a cow to go off feed, so more symptom description would help. But please see your vet about this soon, as it could be very serious.

First, make sure that the graze is clean. Sterile saline to rinse it, put Vitamin E on it for a day or so.

Electric fencing is perfectly acceptable for fencing in horses, however polytape (not wire) is recommended for horses. Polytape is much safer than the regular metal electric wire. It's a wide tape, normally white, sometimes with orange or yellow stripes and the horses can see it better. This lessens the chance that they will run through the fence and get tangled in it. Most farm supply stores now carry polytape electric fencing.

That all depends on where you live. You will need to visit your local county extension office to see what the average stocking rate is for your area relative to pasture health and length of grazing. For some areas, you can have 1 cow per acre, but for other areas you may only have enough grass for one cow per 40 acres. Hopefully your area has much more moisture than that so you can put more cows on in that size of pasture. Just remember: stocking rate is based on number of animal units (1 x 1000 lb cow with or without a calf consuming 25 lbs of dry matter per day) per month.

Kinetic energy

Depending on the quality of the grass. It may if the quality is good. A new mother cow should have extra feed for the milk in the form of grain.

ANSWER:

The cow can graze 21 ft. Because the rope is only 21 ft long :)

It is important to treat and cover boils, skin infections, and minor abraisions, because they can get infected quickly, and without the proper sort of treatment, you might have to get say a leg or arm that is infected amputated. The infection can also spread throughtout your entire body when left untreated, and can kill you.

Its when ranchers or cowboys take there cattle to a train which they get on to and take them to the slaughter house. They might also get on trucks. You might call it a cattle run or a cattle drive.

Depends on your area and farming practices. For countries with snow, cattle will be turned out to graze everyday in the summer months and then brought back to the barn in the fall before the snow season. However, most milking dairy cattle will not graze on grass as they remain in the barn.

Queensland is a very large area of Australia, so it really depends on where in Queensland you are located. A stocking rate calculator in the related links below may help you answer this question.

They can, actually. Sheep and cattle on one pasture can disrupt the parasite cycle, and plants that the cows won't eat will be readily eaten by sheep and even goatst.

Well, I'll give you this: donkeys get along better with cattle than they do horses, even more so if those donkeys are outnumbered 10:1 or greater. Donkeys are also great guard animals, especially if you got young calves and have a known threat of neighbors dogs, cougars, wolves, coyotes or bears coming to try to take a calf or two.

Yes there are numerous species of bird that eat grass eg Canada geese, Peacocks, Ostriches.
