Woody plant encroachment restricts forage production and capacity to produce grazing livestock. Biophysical plant growth simulation and economic simulation were used to evaluate a prescribed burning range management technique. Modeling systems incorporated management practices and costs,...

Large-scale brush-control programs are being proposed in Texas to increase off-site water yields. Biophysical and economic simulation models are combined to estimate the effects of brush control on representative ranches in four ecological regions of the Edwards Plateau area of Texas. Net...

Survey responses concerning the general aspects of current exotic operations and attitudes of current producers are presented. A wide diversity of exotic livestock operations was indicated by the respondents. Respondents were on average well educated and in high gross income brackets. Overall,...
