Sediment losses from a pastured watershed before and after stream fencing
Date: 1996
Authors: L. B. Owens, W. M. Edwards, and R. W. Van Keuren
Summary: The effect of fencing livestock off of the streambank on soil loss was examined at the North Appalachian Experimental watershed near Coshocton, Ohio. Following 7 years of year-long grazing streambanks were fenced out of a 26-ha pasture. Total precipi ...

A test of grazing compensation and optimization of crested wheatgrass using a simulation model
Date: 1988
Authors: B. E. Olson, R. L. Senft, and J. H. Richards
Summary: A simulation model was created and verified using data from field experiments, to determine the compensatory growth of crested wheatgrass (<em>Agropyron desertorum</em>) after grazing, at different times during the season, and to determin ...

Management and economic implications of intensive grazing on dairy farms in the northeastern states
Date: 1992
Authors: W. J. Parker, L. D. Muller, and D. R. Buckmaster
Summary: Parker et al. compared the effects of intensive grazing by dairy cattle, on annual herbage utilization, forage and crop production, and net returns, to a drylot feeding system for a typical Pennsylvania dairy farm, using linked spreadsheet models. T ...

Runoff and sediment losses resulting from winter feeding on pastures
Date: 1997
Authors: L. B. Owens, W. M. Edwards, and R. W. Van Keuren
Summary: A pasture watershed study was initiated in May 1974 near Coshocton, Ohio to determine the effect of three grazing management strategies on the hydrology and water quality of flow from small watersheds. The first 12 years the site was grazed rotationa ...

Assessment of spring defoliation to improve fall forage quality of bluebunch wheatgrass (<em>Agropyron spicatum</em>)
Date: 1986
Authors: M. D. Pitt
Summary: In this study bluebunch wheatgrass (<em>Agropyron spicatum</em>) plants were clipped at four different phenological stages to compare forage quality of subsequent regrowth relative to nondefoliated plants. Following two years of treatmen ...
