Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides comprehensive guidance on efficiently using annual plants for grazing cattle on California's vast foothill ranges. The author draws on data gathered from a 13-year study conducted at the San Joaquin Experimental Range, a large tract of land supporting a representative mix of annual plants typical of those found on many foothill ranges. The study examined plant growth, grazing capacity, and how plant growth and cattle production were affected by different degrees of grazing intensity. The book's findings provide valuable insights into the seasonal pattern of plant growth and the nutritional value of the plants. This information can help ranchers optimize their grazing operations to match forage plant growth, allowing them to make the most of available resources and minimize the need for supplemental feeding. The book also discusses the importance of range site classification in estimating grazing capacity and highlights the need for flexibility in stocking rates to accommodate year-to-year fluctuations in forage production. By understanding the specific characteristics of different range sites and how they affect plant growth and grazing capacity, ranchers can better manage their operations and achieve more efficient use of annual plants.
