Grazing experiment

So for the past 5 days I have been working with Dan on this grazing experiment. It invloved laying out plots in the grass, having donkeys graze a third of them, having slashers cut a third of them and leaving the other third as controls. Then the next day we brought in cows to graze all of them. (I was excited because I kind of love donkeys). We measured the vegetation before everything, after the donkeys/slashers, and then again after the cows. So I had one full day of donkey wrangling, one full day of cow wrangling, and this morning we finished up the vegetation sampling.






Here are some photos of donkey wrangling, a donkeys and her baby in one of our plots, and my cows in one of the plots.
