Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Livestock grazing reduces the competition from nonnative plants so that other desirable grasses and wildflowers can regenerate and coexist. Many plants, including several rare species, require grazing to maintain viable populations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Daily intake of forage and supplemental feed is more efficiently rationed. Pasture plants are allowed to adequately recover between grazings and are therefore more persistent. Pasture yield is increased and the distribution of the forage is improved. Cost of machinery, fuel, and facilities are reduced.
