Central Grasslands Research Extension Center (North Dakota) patch-burning and grazing management

Metadata Updated: May 8, 2025

These data are the result of a four-year (2017-2020) study comparing rangeland forage and cattle responses across three grazing management practices in central North Dakota. In each season, cow-calf pairs grazed on n = 4 pastures for each grazing management practice: Patch burned, in which a 40-ac patch of 160-ac pastures were burned with prescribed fire each spring with no internal fences; Continuous, in which neither prescribed fire nor internal fences were used; and Rotational, in which 40-ac pastures were sub-divided into 4 paddocks each with no prescribed fire. The data were primarily managed by Megan Wanchuk in support of her Master's thesis: Wanchuk, MR. 2022. Patch-Burning Improves Forage Nutritive Value and Livestock Performance over Rotational and Continuous Grazing Strategies (Master's Thesis, North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota).
