[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 548086, member: 7795"] Rough basics and a simple analogy. Take a child and give him the choice of desert, vegetables, and say hotdogs. I would bet that he would eat the desert and if still hungry the hot dog. Give him vegetables and hotdogs and he will probably eat the hotdog and some vegetables. If you watch cattle, they do much the same. They will seek out the tender growth and more palatable grasses leaving the less desirable and unpalatable. Limiting the cattle to fewer acres will force them to eat all of the forages instead of just some. Byproduct of which is a more even distrbution of animal waste (fertilizer). Mind you the cows, much like the child, might object at first and let it be known they are not happy but when real hunger sets in they will chow down. Now I hope someone will give and intelligent explaination. [/QUOTE]
