"Continuous improvement of the key resources" is one of my five essentials for successful ranch management. While drought, fire and our own mistakes may temporarily set us back at times, continuous improvement should always be our goal. For continuousimprovement of grazing land, I like to use the grazing animal as my primary tool. While I have selectively used fire, and mechanical and chemical treatments, I recognize that each has significant costs and some adverse effects. They also usually are treating symptoms of previous poor grazing practices.
