grazing on rangelands

“Livestock grazing on rangelands is the most extensive form of land use in the interior Pacific Northwest (Skovlin et al. 1977). Cattle tend to congregate on meadows and utilize the vegetation much more intensively than the vegetation of adjacent ranges (Reid and Pickford 1946).” (Source : INRA)
“Possible trade-offs between range grazing and alternative sources of energy for livestock production also need to be understood. In many places, range is the most efficient source of livestock forage. Cropland may often compete economically, but always with a greater expenditure of energy. As fuels become scarce and their total environmental costs are assessed, range may be called on to produce far more forage than now.” (Source : INRA)
