Climate change models are predicting increased frequency and severity of droughts in arid and semiarid environments, and these areas are responsible for much of the world's livestock production. Because cattle (Bos taurus) grazing can impact the abundance, distribution, and ecological function of native plant and animal communities, it is important...

Assessment of beef cow energy balance
and efficiency in grazing-extensive rangelands has
occurred on a nominal basis over short time intervals and
has not accounted for the complexity of metabolic and
digestive responses; behavioral adaptations to climatic,
terrain, and vegetation variables; and documentation of
the effects of nutrient form and...
