2  What is holistic grazing management?  How does it compare to traditional grazing?  Where has it been practiced?  Why are we interested in studying it? INTRODUCTION

3  Health  Milk yield measurements  Growth rates  Vegetation and wildlife  Vegetation transects  Camera traps  How much the plots are being used and by what animals  GPS data – our livestock  Camera traps – wildlife  Production cages METHODS
