| Summary: | A 6-year grazing study on sub-clover pasture at the UC Hopland Field Station indicated
that lambs weaned at 40 Ib made excellent gains. Phosphorus and sulfur fertilization
enhanced the gains enough to be profitable. By concentrating lambs on highly productive,
well-protected pastures, researchers not only used inputs more efficiently, they also
prevented many of the predator losses encountered in nearby, less-protected pastures. |
