And the deer wouldn't want all their food eaten by cows either.




You say that people don’t want the cows eating up all of their deer vegetation…..but by that same thinking fire would be consuming it all……In actuality both methods are just setting back succession. However, cow are grazers and deer are browsers…..While there are some plant species that both animals will target….the cattle are for the most part using different plant species than the deer….You also have the ability to move the cattle off of a parcel to control how much of the vegetation they consume....they are rotated around in small temporary paddocks using electric fencing......You're simply using them as a tool to bring succession back down.....recycle carbon to the soil.....deposit manure on the land.....and turn a portion of the veg into beef.....which tastes better than carbon dioxide (combustion)

It costs around $17 an acre I believe to have someone burn to set back succession……What if someone brought in cattle and did it for less and the land produced more??? Would there be incentive for landowners to do it?
