*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.
