Targeted grazing : a natural approach to vegetation management and landscape enhancement

Coffey, Linda (author), Launchbaugh, Karen (editor)

Promoting grazing to manage vegetation as a paid service - typically called prescribed or targeted grazing - is a recent phenomenon. As targeted grazing has gained a foothold in the land management arena, both research and experience have evolved to provide land managers and grazing service providers with more definitive tools for managing vegetation. This handbook represents a compilation of the latest research on harnessing livestock to graze targeted vegetation in ways that improve the function and appearance of a wide variety of landscapes. The handbook is organized both as an introduction to targeted grazing for the novice and as a useful reference for those already familiar with the topic. It is written for an audience that includes livestock producers, land managers, landowners, grazing enthusiasts, or interested observers.
