"Weeds" and Cattle-Deer Analagies

[dogghr]

Having worked my share of cattle and sheep operations over the years, I still read with interest many articles pertaining to their management and often apply to deer/land management of my own property. Similarities can exist and used on your own place as you have probably gleened from my own ramblings. Since we are missing our own resident cattleman/Gallow, thot I'd share this link on weed, not the kind you smoke. Enjoy.

There is even a professor who has a ranch in zimbabwe who prescribes to this practice, and believes that the reduction of intense grazing practices has contributed to loss of vegetatve cover and is a contributing factor to climate change.

Same problems you have without timber rotation. All the nutrients get tied up in the existing trees.
