| ^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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
