A -Schematic illustration of the Rest Rotation Grazing System (Harmay and Talbot, 1961).
A - FULL GRAZING: Provides maximum forage for livestock. Improves plant composition by using all forage plants.
B - GRAZING AFTER SEED RIPENS: Unmolested plants gain vigor and produce seed more readily during the growing season. When the seed is ripe it is easily knocked to the ground, trampled in and planted by livestock. Grazing after seed ripens ensures establishment of new seedlings.
C - REST DURING ENTIRE GROWING SEASON: The rest pasture is the one grazed when seed was ripe the year before. Plants are protected from all livestock grazing during seedling establishment, and older plants gain vigor. This rest is essential for a healthy rangeland.
