[QUOTE="Ben Campbell, post: 7197844, member: 152882"] The ranch that this video was filmed on has a 1 or 2 acre "exclusion zone" which is fenced off and has not had cattle graze it for 30 years. They bring tours and professors there to examine it. It lacks biodiversity, has virtually no wild grazers because they can choose where they want to graze and they don't like that stuff. It has moss growing on the ground (a sign of a stagnant ecosystem in that location) and is filled with dead plant material above ground. The ground is actually largely bare when you pull the grass apart to look, with roughly (my personal guess) 80% of the space sitting bare/dead/idle. There is no blanket statement that is true. Either that cattle are good for grasslands or that they are bad. Well managed grazing farms are good and poorly managed ones are damaging. The same can likely be said for most forms of agriculture.
