grazing

Droughts can drive up costs because without enough water, businesses have to buy more feed instead of relying on grazing lands, said Karina Schoengold, a professor of agricultural economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

I quickly snuck back into my hideaway and stayed quiet, listening to the gnarled sounds of this massive animal grazing just feet away from me.

In addition to resuming its duties providing milk for the family farm, the goat can now go back to performing a second important job — helping prevent wildfires by grazing on flammable brush.

Leslie Hunewill’s cattle ranching family sees quite a bit of “horse activity” on grazing lands in an area called the Mono Sand Flats, to the east and north of the lake.

He said this would provide adequate grazing in winter for the animals left on the island.
