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.
