Body
Stocking rate is one of the most important management factors affecting the productivity of grazed rangelands. A study was conducted in central NM to evaluate the effects of two stocking rate levels and weather factors on the activity patterns of young rangeland-raised cows. Data were collected over four years by tracking 52 cross-bred cows grazing a 146 ha pasture.
