Journal: Journal of Production Agriculture
Authors: L. K. Paine, D. Undersander, and M. D. Casler
Date: 1999
Summary: The research was conducted on three management intensive rotational grazing (MIRG) dairy farms, and continuously grazed pastures (CON) on three conventional dairy farms in Wisconsin in 1994 to 1995.

The seasonal mean height of ...
