Grazing - Grazing Systems

Grazing Systems

In the 19th century, grazing techniques were virtually non-existent. Pastures would be grazed for long periods of time, with no rest in between. This led to overgrazing and it was detrimental to the land, wildlife, and livestock producers. Today, ranchers have developed grazing systems to help improve the forage production for livestock, while still being beneficial to the land.

Famous quotes containing the words grazing and/or systems:

    The only freedom supposed to be left to the masses is that of grazing on the ration of simulacra the system distributes to each individual.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)

    Our little systems have their day;
    They have their day and cease to be:
    They are but broken lights of thee,
    And thou, O Lord, art more than they.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
