[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 177082, member: 605"] They are both beneficial. Grasses need herbivores to rough 'em up a little and fire gets rid of a lot of weed seeds leaving the grass roots zone intact. Right now all the private land around me looks over grazed. The biggest problem grazing public ground is when it's wet, a rancher is understocked. No one notices. When it's dry everyone takes notice. John Q. Public may ask, why can't a rancher sell all of his cows during the dry and buy 'em all back when it's wet? Economic suicide. Another reason is because a rancher can't take an animal out of a feedlot and dump it in the grasslands. His cows know how to survive. Let her out in the spring and she will get some grass here and water over there. In the fall she may be mixed up with several herds but when the first snow falls she will segregate and go home. A rancher simply can't sell her during the dry and buy back a different cow during the wet years. She is not expendable. Grasses look like shit right now. Need rain. [/QUOTE]
