Evaluation of Grass Species for Improved Pasture Management
Summary
Proper grazing management of both tame and native pastures, during all seasons of the year, is a challenge for most beef cattle producers. This project will evaluate a variety of introduced and native grass species on several different sites to determine which species would offer the best palatability, productivity and ground cover at different times of the year.
