[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 389415, member: 13"] You don't get your own special definition of "overgrazing". From Wikipedia: "In the dictionary and agriculture, overgrazing is when plants are exposed to grazing for too long, or without sufficient recovery periods....." "Knowingly" doesn't change anything. The land and grass are damaged whether the grazier is just ignorant about grass management or just doesn't care. It's always under the manager's control. When it doesn't rain, he should reduce the number of mouths on the land/grass. We have an "abuse paddock" in our rotational system. It doesn't have much grass even in the best of times. If we have to feed hay during the grazing season, we put the cows in that paddock. They will continue to graze anything that grows while they eat hay. Using one paddock for that purpose helps save the others from being damaged. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overgrazing]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overgrazing[/url] [/QUOTE]
