Summary of Methods: Mosley looked at the possibilities of sheep grazing to enhance the aspects of food, cover, water and space for numerous wildlife species. He points out that grazing can improve habitat for species with different requirements. What may be beneficial to some species, may be harmful to others, thus making habitat modifications through sheep grazing a battle of the lesser evils. Conflicts only occur when the sheep grazing effects a limiting habitat factor of a certain wildlife species.
