Targeted grazing is the use of domestic livestock to change the composition and structure of vegetation to meet management goals. This technique is often used in combination with other vegetation management treatments such as prescribed fire, seeding, chemical application, or mechanical means. Results from targeted grazing depend on the kind of livestock used, the season during which they graze, and the intensity and duration of grazing. Targeted grazing represents a shift in focus from producing meat, milk, or fiber from livestock to modifying vegetation using livestock.
