*intake based on difference between before-graze and after-graze pasture plate measurements.
^Variety means are LSMEANS derived from nearest neighbor statistical analysis.
Therefore, season total will not be the arithmetic sum of individual grazing periods.

*PALAT.=Palatability rating 0=0% grazed, 1=20%, 2=40%, 3=60%, 4=80%, 5=100% grazed.
Palatability of grasses under grazing is determined by visual estimation of percent defoliation of plots.
The visual determination is made midway during mob grazing by beef cows of the grass plots for intake determination.
^Variety means are LSMEANS derived from nearest neighbor statistical analysis.
Therefore, season average will not be the arithmetic average of individual grazing periods.
