[QUOTE="BAGTIC, post: 467972, member: 3757"] My goats don't pull it up by the roots. I grew up near the 'Lamb Capitol' of the US (Dixon, Calif.) and I assure you I have never seen sheep pulling up grass by the roots. Come to think of it I never saw a horse with a ball of roots dangling from its lips either. What the three have in common is both upper and lower incisors that allow them to [u][b]clip[/b][/u] the grass [b]very[/b] close to the ground. This can sometimes kill the growing stem of the grass. Even they won't clip this short if there is plenty of grass to eat otherwise. They do it in desperation. [u][b]Overgrazing [/b][/u]kills pastures and it doesn't matter what kind of animal does it.
