A real forage-curve, Kleiber-intake grazing year over real Botany.Grasses + AnimalScience.Livestock data.

Rotational rest grazes one of four paddocks at a time (21-day rotation), resting the other three so they can recover — the textbook fix for overgrazing.

Pasture condition

Mean paddock health –

Green = lush; tan/brown = bare / degraded soil. A paddock that's been grazed to the ground repeatedly loses health (root reserves), which caps how far it can recover — the real overgrazing feedback loop.

Real data used

Cool-season (C3): Fescue, Timothy grass — spring+fall growth, summer slump

Warm-season (C4): Bermuda grass, Switchgrass — peaks in summer heat

Cattle (beef) — Bos taurus, breeds Angus…Wagyu

Sheep — Ovis aries, breeds Merino…Suffolk

Goat — Capra hircus, breeds Boer…Saanen
