[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 699441, member: 3739"] Looking again at the first post here, no where do I see anything about the Severe Winter of 1886, nor the Dust Bowl of the early 1930s (as a result of the last 60 years of land utilization [see below]) nor when the grass-fed movement actually started up. All this chronology indicates is when mechanization and commercialization started. It doesn't look like it really has much to do with the grass-fed thing that the latest posts are about, until "finally" in 2000. But even then it has nothing to do with the Grass-Fed Movement. :? Now as far as Range Management, here's a little quote from Range Management Principles and Practices 5th ed. Chapter 2: Range Management History p. 29: More was said on how the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act of 1976 provided a similar mandate as above, and more change in emphasis in range management and research from the 1970s to today. Now if that doesn't explains things (haven't found anything about forage management in terms of [i]pasture[/i] production yet), I dunno what will. Certainly goes to show you how things have improved over the years, and how "traditional" ranching is still traditional with a lot of improvements in range and forage management. And, you would think that with range improvement also came pasture improvement, because of the similarities between the two management schemes. Like I said, a whole friggin book could be written on this subject! [/QUOTE]
