From Beef Today, an article discussing the need to really understand what is meant by "intensive" grazing...http://www.agweb.com/livestock/beef/article/understanding-the-intensive-...The major take-away here is that intensive grazing is about understanding where you're trying to take your operation and that you need to intensively manage your herd. It is a balance of grazing and animal movement as in most cases defoliation is not a positive outcome - longer grasses will regrow faster and be ready for the next round of grazing sooner.
