Creep grazing




We have some cooperators who are interested in creepgrazing crownvetch.  
It would be planted and fenced on steep bluffs.  These sites currently 
are nearly bare and eroding.  We feel that restricting grazing to calves 
through a creepgrazing system would protect the crownvetch from 
overgrazing enough that it could last.  

Any information on calves grazing crownvetch and the benefits of a 
creepgrazing system would be appreciated.
