The study looked at different grazing methods on ponderosa pine-bunchgrass range to see how they affect cow and calf weight gains. They found that moderate or light stocking rates work best for season-long grazing, while deferred rotation grazing is most profitable with moderate stocking rates. For season-long grazing to be more profitable than deferred rotation, the price of forage must be higher compared to livestock. Overall, the study shows that managing grazing systems and stocking rates can impact profits and the environment on these types of ranges.
