Abstract: Labor and profitability associated with continuous grazing at three stocking rates and rotational grazing at a high stocking rate are compared. Profits are lowest for low stocking rate continuous grazing and high stocking rate rotational grazing. Labor is greatest on per-acre and per-cow bases with rotational grazing.
