[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 177091, member: 704"] Range science classes broke it down a little more than that Fritz. When 25% of vegetation is removed by cattle it's beneficial. When you go beyond 50% it begins to be degrading. Take 80% and your damaging the range. In 1977, 78, and 79 I averaged walking 8 miles a day looking at range lands as related to grazing intensity, vegetative species and breeding bird species. I covered everything east of the Rockies to the Missouri River in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Everything west of Highway 281 in Nebraska and all of Wyoming east of the Rockies. We had to look at vegetation and birds on lightly grazed, moderately grazed, and heavily grazed public land. About half of it was overgrazed back in those days. Short term crowd grazing is beneficial. The research biologists that developed this grazing technique was Allan Savory. He wrote much on how to fight desertification. [/QUOTE]
