Detailed Description

Cattle inside a grazing enclosure at Canyonlands Research Center (The Nature Conservancy) in southern Utah. The cattle were allowed to graze on hay and existing vegetation in the enclosure for 5-6 hours after implementing seeding and restoration treatments (direct seeding, seedballs, soil pits, and live topsoil inoculation) to potentially bolster seeding success by increasing seed-soil contact, creating micrography, and adding nutrients.
