With specialized grazing systems, large <br />livestock breeds, uncontrolled big game <br />herbivores, inaccessibility, dormant season <br />use, etc., stocking rate adjustments will be <br />required. <br />(3) Depending on climatic condition, in some years <br />palatable annuals such as cheatgrass may produce <br />large amounts of forage that is available for only <br />a short time. Intensive grazing programs on these <br />areas followed by deferment is an excellent <br />management tool to utilize these annuals but still <br />allow recovery of the perennial vegetation <br />normally associated with this site. <br />c.
