What is the difference between grazing and browsing?
Grazing is taking a nibble of everything in sight, and browsing is looking over the other guests and/or household knicknacks . It's semi-OK if done discreetly , but rude if done overtly .
How does grazing affect biodiversity?
It is not grazing alone that affects biodiversity, but rather the management of grazing that can affect biodiversity.
Poor management–which means turning out livestock to a large area and not moving them for several weeks or months–can decrease biodiversity, causing more desirable species to be pushed out by the less desirable species, and more species that are more suited to heavy grazing (which there are few [much more are forbs or weedy species, not grasses], unlike those that are less suited to heavy grazing) to come in. Poor management invites livestock to selectively graze whatever plants they want and how often they graze a particular spot, which in turn invites overgrazing as well as undergrazing.
Good management–which involves actively managing how long livestock are grazing a particular paddock and how long the plants get rest, what time of year they graze that area, and how many animals are actively grazing at a single point in time–will do the exact opposite, in fact increase biodiversity. When cattle can graze plants that have set seed, especially if these are desirable species, they can move these seeds from one location to another with their manure. Undesirable species would still be present, but they become less of a nuisance and much less noticeable than if livestock were poorly managed.
When a whole herd of cattle or sheep can be moved around on a large piece of land every one or three days, allowing at least 30 or 40 days of rest to each paddock on that piece of land, the soil and the plants on it improves. When livestock are no longer allowed to damage riparian and wetland areas and watered in a location that takes livestock away from these sensitive areas, the biodiversity also improves and increases. But, these areas should still be grazed, just not as often as the upland, non-wetland areas.
How many pounds of pasture grass seed do you need to one acre of land?
One first needs to know what crop is to be planted, since the amount of seed needed varies so widely. If one is planting beans, you might need as much as 50 pounds of seed per acre. If, on the other hand, you want to plant oregano, you will need only about 4 ounces of seed per acre.
Normally, a producer will decide how many acres of a crop he wishes to produce, multiply times number of plants per acre he wishes to have, factor by the seed germination percentage, then divide by the typical number of seeds per pound for that species, allowing for a small percentage extra for safety.

A combination of many factors, including: Sunlight, adequate soil temperature, soil microbes, moisture, and disturbance. Disturbance is particularly needed to encourage grass growth before the grass has had a chance to put up a seed head and then go into dormancy.
How does a ruminant animal digests pasture using rumen reticulum microbes and fermentation?
Actually, the microbes are the key to this question. The rumen and reticulum are just the holding vats of where the fodder from the pasture are digested and provides the mechanical form of digestion, and fermentation is the chemical process that is created by the microbes in the rumen in an anaerobic environment. Put all these together and you have your answer.
Ruminants rely on these microbes to break down the plant matter and release the nutrients from these plants--as well as synthesize their own, like Vitamin B12--in order to get the necessary energy, protein, vitamins and minerals for maintaining body function and meet other physiological requirements like growth, lactation and reproduction. These microbes synthesize an enzyme called cellulase which is designed to break down cellulose, an organic compound found in all plants (and is what gives all plants their structure and support) in order to accomplish this. The anaerobic environment is created when these microbes release carbon dioxide, methane and other organic gaseous or liquid compounds, and these gases need to be released regularly via eructation (or burping). A cow will burp once every minute of every day.
The microbes can't completely break down plant matter, though, so when the cow has eaten her fill, she regurgitates a bolus of partly digested digesta and rechews it, her saliva and chewing actions further breaking it down before swallowing and bringing up another bolus to chew again. This is called "chewing the cud." Her saliva does not have the enzyme to break down starch, but it does act as a buffer to maintain the pH (or acidity) level neutral in the rumen. A cow can easily produce 50 gallons of saliva per day.
The reticulum acts as part of the digestion process, acting as a storage place for foreign objects, and "readying" a part of the digesta from the rumen to be regurgitated and rechewed as cud. However, fermentation also takes place in this stomach chamber, but not nearly as much as in the rumen. (Note: if someone tells you that the rumen is a "storage" area, this isn't entirely true. An organ doesn't act as a storage area if something is constantly being done to the objects inside. The rumen is a home for millions of bacteria, fungi and protozoa, and is very much an ecological environment where these tiny organisms live and die.) The reticulum is known as the "hardware stomach."
Other organs not mentioned are just as important with ruminant digestion. After the plant matter has been digested, fermented, rechewed and fermented again enough, it goes to the third forestomach, called the omasum. Here water is removed from the many folds in this stomach chamber. From there, it moves into the abomasum, or the true stomach of the ruminant animal. The abomasum acts and secretes stomach acid and enzymes very much like our stomachs do. The rest of the digestion process follows like any other mammal.
How many acres do you need per cow in Oklahoma?
This is not a state issue but a county regulation. You can find out what is permitable by visiting your county court house. Look for the county code that pertains to horses. Or you can try online. At the very least there will be contact info where you can find the right person to answer all your questions.
As far as stocking rate is concerned, which is a little different from the above paragraph, you need to check with your local agricultural extension office to see how many horses you can stock per acre (or how many acres is needed per horse) for your farm or acreage.

How can rangeland be managed sustainably?
Graze your livestock responsibly. That means no over-grazing and no over-stocking your pastures. Keep an eye on how much your animals are taking off, how much should be left and when to put them in or pull them out. Also know what grasses you have in your pastures so you know when the best times are to graze. Cool-season native grasses shouldn't be grazed until after September or October, and cool-season tame grasses should be grazed when they are in the vegetative stage. Warm-season grasses should also be grazed in their vegetative stage. And remember to give rest periods to your pastures: at least 30 days for most periods of grazing. Less for growing periods, more for non-growing periods or when drought is around.
Can sheep and cattle live on the same pasture or near each other?
No, not really. You need to make sure that individuals do get along with each other and that there is enough grass to maintain all.
