Abstract

On the Ground

By managing for more even animal distribution, ranch managers can increase the amount of forage accessible to livestock and raise their effective grazing capacity.
Smaller paddocks and higher stocking density improve the distribution of grazing in each paddock.
A landscape of many, smaller paddocks will spread grazing pressure more evenly than one of fewer, larger paddocks.
