How can rangeland be managed sustainably?

Graze your livestock responsibly. That means no over-grazing and no over-stocking your pastures. Keep an eye on how much your animals are taking off, how much should be left and when to put them in or pull them out. Also know what grasses you have in your pastures so you know when the best times are to graze. Cool-season native grasses shouldn't be grazed until after September or October, and cool-season tame grasses should be grazed when they are in the vegetative stage. Warm-season grasses should also be grazed in their vegetative stage. And remember to give rest periods to your pastures: at least 30 days for most periods of grazing. Less for growing periods, more for non-growing periods or when drought is around.
