Management Bulletin No. 3: Searching for an Optimal Grazing Strategy, Phase I Outcomes from the Coloraditas Grazing Research and Demonstration Area

Phase I findings highlight the challenges of establishing stocking rates and grazing methods that can adapt to variable forage growth, especially during droughts, while supporting both livestock and wildlife populations.
