[QUOTE="dcara, post: 389614, member: 473"] You are asking 2 differrent question, but I'll answer both. First, grazing does not cause grass to turn brown, so of course I was not responsible for the "brownout". That was a drought driven condition. However, the brownout decreased the amount of available green forage in my pastures to the point where a herd of rabbits could have overgrazed them. At that point, it became a management issue. If there were only one green edible plant in the middle of a field of dirt, (or sand such as in west texas) with no animals on it, then the field is not being overgrazed since there is no grazing activity occuring. However, if you let an animal into the field and it eats that plant the field has now been overgrazed as a result of a management decesion. [/QUOTE]
