[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1809735, member: 17524"] Our daughter's teacher brought the Ag students to our place after a rain (it was closer to town) and he showed how the footprints of the cattle had water stored in them, like little reservoirs. It was very interesting. Sheep are hard on pastures because they have upper and lower teeth (like horses) so they can eat right to the dirt (like horses). They do take management, as you stated. We had a sheep/cattle rancher friend who ran in huge pastures in arid range country in WY. You couldn't tell where the sheep had been because he was of the mind that he raised GRASS. He was a great stockman. The sheepmen around him...their sheep grazed into the dirt. Cows, of course, only have bottom teeth in front, so I think that is why they are easier on pastures. [/QUOTE]
