Soil Compaction in Pasture



I recently discovered that some of my Extension clientele may be resistant to 
the concept of rotational grazing because of a belief in severe soil compaction 
by dairy cows. Is there information available which addresses soil compaction 
under animal hooves on grass sod? My tendency is to assume that a well formed 
pasture stand is resilient to animal traffic under a controlled grazing 
situation.
