Dairy cattle grazing in Germany. In agriculture, grazing is a method of animal husbandry whereby domestic livestock are allowed outdoors to free range (roam around) and consume wild vegetations in order to convert the otherwise indigestible (by human gut) cellulose within grass and other forages into meat, milk, wool and other animal products, often on land that is unsuitable for arable farming.
The Stoß is a unit of cattle stock density used in the Alps. For each Alm or Alp it is worked out how many Stoß (Swiss: Stössen ) can be grazed (bestoßen) ; one cow equals one Stoß , 3 bulls equal 2 Stöße , a calf is 1 ⁄ 4 Stoß , a horse of 1, 2 or 3 years old is worth 1, 2 or 3 Stöße , a pig equals 1 ⁄ 4 , a goat or a sheep is 1 ...
Cattle reared on a primarily forage diet are termed grass-fed or pasture-raised; meat or milk may be called "grass-fed beef" or "pasture-raised dairy". [6] The term "pasture-raised" can lead to confusion with the term "free range" which describes where the animals reside, but not what they eat.
These two calves are only a few days old. They were born on a warm, spring day in the meadow of a beautiful farm near Millbrook, Ontario. The farm allows the animals to roam freely over lush ...
Dairy cows need to produce one calf each year in order to remain in milk production. Heifer (female) calves will nearly always become a replacement dairy cow. Some dairy heifers grow up to be mothers of beef cattle. Male dairy calves are generally reared for beef or veal; relatively few are kept for use as breeding stock.
If it was a cow's first time calving, she will take longer to re-breed by at least 10 days. [4] However, beef cattle can also be bred through artificial insemination, [1] depending on the cow and the size of the herd. Cattle are normally bred during the summer so that calving may occur the following spring. [1]

They eat a greater variety of plants during the dry season, as fewer plants are available. While they eat grass during the wet season, they have to switch to more abundant reeds during the dry season. [11] The capybara's jaw hinge is not perpendicular; hence, it chews food by grinding back-and-forth rather than side-to-side. [12]
