On-Ranch Grazing Strategies: Context for the Rotational Grazing Dilemma

Title
On-Ranch Grazing Strategies: Context for the Rotational Grazing Dilemma
Abstract
Considerable debate remains over the efficacy of rotational grazing systems to enhance conservation and agricultural production goals on rangelands. The authors analyzed responses to grazing management questions in the Rangeland Decision Making Surveys of 765 California and Wyoming ranchers in order to characterize on-ranch grazing strategies and identify variables influencing strategy adoption. Two-thirds of respondents practice on-ranch rotational grazing strategies, indicating ranchers do experience benefits from rotation which have not been documented in experimental comparisons of rotational and continuous grazing systems.
