is recommended over continuous grazing because periodic rest helps plants maintain vigor Other options include grazing crested wheat grass earlier and longer than normal: because it is one of the plants more tolerant of grazing) Another option is keeping cattle on irrigated sites longer than usual Fertilizer could be used to increase forage production on many of these sites Fertilizer is a cash cost however and soils should be tested before fertilizer is applied Fertilizer needs moisture to be available to the plant and in times of extreme drought this may not happen During drought conditions energy may be the most limiting nutrient for ' grazing cattle Several options are' available for supplying energy to See WILLIAMS on A16 - v?''5 P |
