" Cattle producers in Cache Valley are striving to become more competitive in beef and milk production. Feed costs account for about 50% of [their] costs ... Grass-based production has been found to be less expensive in other areas of the U.S. as well as other countries in the world, in addition, there has been an increase in the number of people that use public lands. Conflicts over the best way to utilize public lands have occurred between various groups that employ public lands. Alternative feed sources have been identified as [a] means to decrease input costs and plan for a possible future in which access to public lands could be denied. Management intensive rotational grazing on irrigated pasture has been considered in this thesis as a possible tool for beef and dairy producers to employ...."--Abstract, p. ii.

Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures
Author: Monte Rouquette
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN:
Category : Cattle
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures is a practical resource for scientists, students, and stakeholders who want to understand the relationships between soil-plant interactions and pasture management strategies, and the resultant performance of cow-calf and stocker cattle. This book illustrates the importance of matching cattle breed types and plant hardiness zones to optimize cattle production from forages and pastures. It explains the biologic and economic implications of grazing management decisions made to improve sustainability of pastures and cattle production while being compliant with present and future environmental concerns and cattle welfare programs. --

Drought Tip: Managing Irrigated Pasture During Drought
Author: Steve Orloff
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Irrigated perennial pasture grasses are the foundation of many crop and livestock enterprises. They are especially important during drought when the productivity of annual rangelands is compromised and cattle producers are in dire need of alternative forage sources. However, forage crop yields are highly influenced by drought because nearly the entire aboveground biomass is harvested. Production systems that maximize forage production and pasture survivability in drought years are of utmost importance.

Rangeland Systems
Author: David D. Briske
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319467093
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book provides an unprecedented synthesis of the current status of scientific and management knowledge regarding global rangelands and the major challenges that confront them. It has been organized around three major themes. The first summarizes the conceptual advances that have occurred in the rangeland profession. The second addresses the implications of these conceptual advances to management and policy. The third assesses several major challenges confronting global rangelands in the 21st century. This book will compliment applied range management textbooks by describing the conceptual foundation on which the rangeland profession is based. It has been written to be accessible to a broad audience, including ecosystem managers, educators, students and policy makers. The content is founded on the collective experience, knowledge and commitment of 80 authors who have worked in rangelands throughout the world. Their collective contributions indicate that a more comprehensive framework is necessary to address the complex challenges confronting global rangelands. Rangelands represent adaptive social-ecological systems, in which societal values, organizations and capacities are of equal importance to, and interact with, those of ecological processes. A more comprehensive framework for rangeland systems may enable management agencies, and educational, research and policy making organizations to more effectively assess complex problems and develop appropriate solutions.
