Abstract: Simulation tools are increasingly used to inform grazing management decisions by assessing livestock performance, as well as environmental and economic impacts. Ability to represent the grazing of multiple pastures (i.e., paddocks) that differ in soil, hydrology, vegetation, and management is critical for reliable grazing management decision support.
