| Woodland vegetation: Regrowth after the first grazing and ready for the second grazing, Tuskegee, AL |
Alabama and the neighboring states have a tremendous
potential for utilizing woodlands to support the feed requirements of
small ruminants. Woodland grazing can begin in mid- to late-spring and
continued until early to mid-fall depending on the site characteristics and
management strategies. Regrowth of woodland foliage after moving animals
out of the plot for about 5 weeks. This plot is ready for the second grazing in
this season. The first rotational grazing began on May 14 in this plot with
small ruminants and continued for about 3 weeks, when about 50% of the
vegetation within animals' reach was eaten.
