Grazing and Range/Pasture Management

Yes, for sure! All you have to do is instead of seeding it in a monoculture crop, seed it in a grass mixture best suited for your area. Leave it for about a year to fully establish itself (after cutting down the weeds that may try to out grow the grass seedligns; don't spray with herbicide) before putting livestock out to graze.

Not necessary. Grasslands is what they have been surviving on for many centuries. Feeding grain to the animals just bulks them up; putting more fat into the meat. Grain is used mainly when pastureland is not available such as when winter snow covers the lands.

Horses are dominant over cows. So they will boss cows around, drive them away from the feed source and generally let the cows know whose in charge. This isn't being 'mean' but just being a horse. Some horses have a more mellow attitude about cows and won't make the effort to fuss about them while others will enforce their position as the dominant animal frequently. It won't affect how they treat people and they shouldn't be considered 'mean' if they run the cows around.

The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 (43 USC 315), signed by President Roosevelt, was intended to "stop injury to the public grazing lands [excluding Alaska] by preventing overgrazing and soil deterioration.

One possibility would be the Buttercup, an herb from the genus Ranunculus. Another possibility would be the Catsear (Hypochaeris radicata, or false dandelions), Hawkweeds (Hieracium), Hawksbeards (Crepis), and Dandelions (Taraxacum), to name a few.

Cattle grazing or grazing cattle is when cattle are set out on a piece of land (within a fenced area, mind) and eat the grass and legumes that grow there for a period of time.

They are facing each other

If you are to "hand" breed a mare and a stallion it is much safer and the situation is controlled versus if the mare and stallion are alone together in a pasture either one of them could get hurt very seriously either from biting or kicking.

Quit cheating on tests....study!

This kinda depends on where you are located and what kind of grasses you have. Up north, pasture grasses start to grow in April and put out their vegetative leaves before the flowering part or inflorescence shoots up. Grasses at the early stage of growth don't have much nutrient in them, especially when they are at the 3 to 4-leaf stage, plus they are the most sensitive to grazing at this time. Grazing your grasses when they reach about a foot in height is best for cattle that need a higher plane of nutrition, like stockers or lactating cows with calves. You must also graze quickly because grasses, in this stage of vegetation, grows quickly.

As the grass matures, it increases in fibre and decreases in protein and water content. 90% of the growth and energy is put into elongation and flowering out of the "grass head." Normally, with good grazing practices, you should not have your grasses to grow out like this; however in grazing systems where you are grazing native pastures or stockpiling you should allow the grasses to complete their life cycle.

After the grass has flowered and puts into seed, it dies off. Nutrient content tends to decrease after the grass goes into dormancy during the hottest portion of the year. You will find that cool season grasses, as I have referred to above, during the summer, even when grazed so that they are not allowed to fully mature, will decrease in vigour because of the heat. In the south, when the summers are hot and cattle still need to be grazed, warm-season grasses are grazed until autumn. Grazing warm-season grasses during this time tends to give the dormant cool-season grasses a bit of a break, enabling them to store energy to resume a little extra growth during the autumn.

Warm-season grasses start growth during June to July and quickly complete their life cycle by the time September rolls around. Nutrient levels are similar to the peaks and dips of cool-season grasses.

With good grazing practices, cool-season grasses tend to resume growth again, enabling more (but lighter) grazing before the killing frost hits and the snow falls.

No. McDonald's does not own any grazing land to graze their cattle in--as a matter of fact, this multi-million dollar franchise doesn't own any cattle at all.

The reality about rainforests being used for grazing is that they are not used for grazing at all. Rainforests are primarily destroyed for the production of crops and for exotic wood products, not grazing land for livestock. Livestock come in and graze after the crops have essentialled "mined" the nutrients from the soil, eating the sparse grasses that have been sown or grew after the farmers have left. There are exceptions, but this is the most common practice that occurs.

You can work for various aspects within the Department of Agriculture. You can also get an advanced degree, up to a doctorate, and teach. Since this is an ecology degree, you could work for numerous companies that employ ecologists, such as oil and land companies, or with conservation groups.

Open the pasture gate, go and round them up and herd them back in.

Switching over, rotating, moving livestock to a new pasture, etc.

The sentence does not need to be revised.

You might have to use a herbicide to get rid of them. Be sure to talk to your local ag dealer that sells herbicides to get the proper one, and follow the label AND the amount of time to not allow your animals to graze that pasture. Most herbicides ask for 20 to 30 days before being grazed again.

It is often the case if not an overly large area that a fence will be placed around the perimeter of a horse pasteur so the horses will not wander off and get lost or hurt, but if the area is excessive, say several acres, some people do not choose to have a fence. Some think it is somewhat pointless to fence in horse pasteurs since a determined horse could jump most standard fences anyway.

It depends on the turnout halter. For a horse to be safe out in pasture with a halter on, it must have a breakaway crownpiece. These are normally leather, but I have seen some with a velcro piece. You can normally get replacement crownpieces for breakaway halters, or pieces to convert a normal halter into a breakaway.

You can plant any type of tree that you would want. You must put up a fence around the young tree because horses, like cattle are very inquisitive and like to play with things that are in their area. They will try and scratch themselves on it and want to lean on it. If you want a tree in your pasture, protect it.

Gallagher's pasture is where pioneer American aviator Amelia Earheart landed on the first female solo flight from North America to Europe in 1932. Gallagher's pasture is located in Ballyarnett, County Derry, in Northern Ireland.
