Grazing systems and rangeland management is the practice of managing livestock within land systems. At AgNext, we are working on rangelands across the arid west to get more data on grazing systems and rangeland management. Utilizing our state-of-the-art research facility and expert faculty, we are contributing to this critical part of the animal agriculture conversation.
