An economic comparison of three cattle grazing management strategies intended to improve riparian habitat and water quality

Creator:

Sharp, Jeffrey L.

Abstract:

Grazing of riparian forage by livestock may alter stream channel morphology in ways that impact nearby aquatic habitat, bank stability, vegetative cover and water quality. A number of grazing management practices have been proposed as a means to reduce the amount of time cattle spend in the riparian zone. The...

Economic sustainability of beef cattle ranching with alternative grazing systems in riparian zones, eastern Oregon

Creator:

Abedin, Joynal

Abstract:

Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...

The economic feasibility of off-stream water and salt to reduce grazing pressure in riparian areas

Creator:

Stillings, Amy M.

Abstract:

Properly functioning riparian systems are vital to the health of watersheds and provide an important forage and habitat resource for livestock and wildlife. Riparian grazing management strategies that are economically feasible and achieve environmental goals are needed by resource managers and livestock producers. The objective of this thesis was to...
