Grazing Habits and How They Impact Cattle Weight Gain
A new study out of the University of California, Davis has revealed how grazing affects the weight of cattle. The research team found that when cattle were put in a paddock that was grazed more heavily, they weighed less than when placed in a paddock that was grazed less. This is due to the fact that heavily grazed pastures have less forage available, leading the cattle to expend more energy searching for food. The research provides valuable insight into how grazing management can be used to better manage cattle weight, an important factor in the livestock industry.
