Abstract
The study was conducted on the Palustris Experimental Forest in central Louisiana on an area where moderate yearlong grazing has been practiced since 1951. Cattle stocking rates are 1.5 acres per animal unit month, and utilization averages about 42% of the current year’s herbage growth. Soils vary from poorly drained flatwoods to well-drained sandy loams with slopes up to 10%. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) was clearcut in 1965, and only a scattering of small pines and some scrub oaks (Quercus spp.) remain. The herbaceous vegetation is mainly slender bluestem (Andropogon tener (Nees) Kunth), pinehill bluestem (A. scoparius var. divergens Anderss. ex Hack.), other bluestems, and panicums (Panicurn spp.). The primary shrub is southern waxmyrtle (Myrica ceriferu L.). Annual herbage production
