Title: Cattle grazing a riparian mountain meadow: Effects of low and moderate stocking density on nutrition, behavior, diet selection, and plant growth response: Journal: Journal of Animal Science; Authors: S. A. Huber, M. B. Judkins, L. J. Krysl, T. J. Svejcar, B. W. Hess, and D. W. Holcombe; Date: 1995; Summary: Steers were used to evaluate the effects of stocking density on grazing behavior, dietary selection, forage intake, digesta kinetics, and growth rates of Carex nebraskensis and Juncus balticus in a riparian pasture on upper Big Grizzly Creek in Plumas County, California. Prior to the study, the site was grazed for 2 weeks (June-August) as one pasture of a three-pasture rotational grazing system. Three experimental pastures were created with one of 3 treatments: no grazing (control), grazed to leave 1,500 kg forage/ha (low) and grazed to leave 1,000 kg forage/ha (moderate).
