Approach
Develop a holistic approach to grazing management; understand rancher’s business approach, lands used, water management and competing demands from other resources and multiple uses.
Tactics
- Modify flexibility in timing, duration, and intensity of authorized grazing.
- Use grazing as a tool to achieve desired conditions - holistic grazing, target grazing on noxious weeds.
- Consider novel ways to manage grazing.
- Minimize impacts by designing more efficient livestock water developments (e.g. shutoff valves for tanks, protect spring sources).
