Conditions that warrant the development of a new approach to hill country grazing management are outlined. The effect of three grazing systems on pasture growth and species composition is discussed. Livestock feed requirements are related to pasture production. An action calendar shows the modifications to the grazing system which allows better exploitation of the pasture and stock potential. Finally, results of the adoption of the recommended grazing systems are given.
