Hugh Aljoe takes the time to discuss do's and dont's of UHSDG in the southern great plains. Two important points: 1) UHSDG is not a grazing system it is a grazing prescription for landscape objectives and 2) lower stock density rotational grazing may be more applicable on healthy pastures/rangeland or for higher animal performance requirement and higher forage yield with less recovery time. For wildlife benefit, planned grazing is a method to get more frequent disturbance in the habitat for enhanced plant regrowth and quality while profiting from a livestock enterprise rather than being a sink for disposable income!

Ultra-high stock density grazing is the management tool of grazing livestock in much higher-than-normal concentrations to achieve landscape-focused objectives. The long-term goal is to enhance soils, forages and livestock production.
 
I know of two people doing "mob grazing". They have been doing it for at least 10 years and swear by it. It is more work on a daily basis, but the cattle and the pastures do extremely well.
