Video: GPS Collars Help Track Grazing Preferences

Kevin Bradley has walked a lot of pastures with cattlemen where he thought weeds severely limited grazing value. But producers often balked at losing the clover growing in the grass if they initiated a spray program. Using GPS technology to track fix points and let the cattle vote on which forage they prefer, the University of Missouri Extension weed scientist has learned that weed control improves pasture productivity and creates a grazing space preferred by most cows.
