*Matching stocking rates with pasture growth rates,

*Extending the grazing season during winter and summer slumps,

REVIEWS:

* "Among the people I admire most in agriculture are those who advocate new ideas and practices with unwavering conviction, passion and strength of will ... Allan Nation speaks with the same passion he puts into his writing." -Loren Kruse, Successful Farming

* "If (Nation) doesn't create controversy and spark some soul searching, particularly in the cattle business, both beef and dairy, it isn't for lack of effort." -Maurice Telleen, Draft Horse Journal
