Grazing Dairy Cattle,
This review is from: Grass Productivity (Conservation Classics) (Paperback)
An excellent source of information for anyone interested in grazing dairy cows. Best suited for the beginner but valuable observations that everyone grazing cows can benefit from.

This is it. Allan Nation,
This review is from: Grass Productivity (Conservation Classics) (Paperback)
It is outstanding that we are still reluctant to understand the proper use of grazing, The author is the original founder of "rational grazing" (1957 !!)and even for other non-temperate areas it is still a classic worth reading and rereading, not for nothing is the basis of Holistic Range Management by Savory.
